Era Ending? Edmonds Exits
Era Ending? Edmonds Exits
The Padres have released Jim Edmonds . I don't think many of us really expected that when he was traded back in December . Sure, the contract was up at the end of 2008, but he should be able to put together the semblance of a decent year. Even last year, a down year by his standards, he stroked 12 homers and hit .250. Apparently, that wasn't the case. After a .178 average

ducksnorts.com 5/10/2008 — So much for Jim Edmonds . Ducksnorts readers projected him to hit .255/.338/.418 , with the most pessimistic of us pegging his OPS at a limp 645. Sadly, the former All-Star didn’t even come close to those meager numbers, finishing his Padres career at .178/.265/.233 in 103 plate appearances and, more importantly, looking lost in center field.
