I'd Gladly Trade You Eddie Guardado for a Hamburger Today

It appears Eddie Guardado is headed back to the Twins for Mark Hamburger. Eddie's having a good year out of the pen, giving up just three home runs in 49 1/3 innings. Opponents are hitting .220 with a .286 OBA. Plus, he's only pitched in 55 games. Not used everyday, his arm must be far from tired! :-)

Hamburger is just 21 years old. His ERA is high in rookie ball this season, but his strikeouts, walks and home runs are all good, just what you want in a reliever. This could be a juicy pickup for the Rangers down the line, as long as they don't fry his arm.
