In an effort to add another arm to a rotation that seems to be losing pitchers almost weekly, the Texas Rangers have signed Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez to a minor league contract. Hernandez will report to AAA-affiliate Oklahoma where he will presumably get some time in before getting a call-up to Arlington.
Hernanadez missed all of last season with a foot injury but in 2007, went 9-5 with a 3.71 ERA with the New York Mets.
El Duque is 90-65 in parts of 9 Major League seasons, 9-3 in the postseason, was voted the ALCS MVP in 1999, and has been a part of four World Championship teams.
