Jim Edmonds is kinda old and kinda done.Before being released by the struggling San Diego Padres on Friday, his batting average had fallen to .178 -- just 16-for-90 over 26 games -- with one homer and six RBIs.
Also, his fielding had become that of a 9-year-old bench-warmer with autism.
The 37-year-old Edmonds, a four-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glover, began the season on the DL with a right calf strain he sustained during Spring Training. He was activated on April 5th and has sucked ever since.
His
Note to the Pads, who will eat $4.7 million for this move, Jim Edmonds is only the tip of your problematic iceberg.
Ever wonder what the ten worst contracts in baseball are? Rumors and Rants were kind enough to compile a list.

Drunk posting is awesome.
Totally sober by then. They stop serving beer in the seventh, you know.
Jimmy Ballgame was one of my favorites when he was in the Lou. It's sad to see him go out like this.
One of my favorite Cardinals too. Too bad his career may end on a bad note. Thanks for the memories Jimmy!
Jimmy's a great guy. He's been a fav of mine since he came here to St. Louis. I wish he would have had a little more success in San Diego. I bet he lands somewhere before the end of the year though.
