The Rangers have signed 39-year old righty starting pitcher Orlando Hernandez to a minor league deal. “El Duque” did not pitch last season. Hernandez has pitched in 219 games (211 starts) in his major league career and he is 90-65 with 2 saves, a 4.13 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. The Rangers will have him get in shape at AAA with a likely quick call up if he looks good. The Rangers might have snagged El Duque with an eye on the playoffs. After all, Hernandez has pitched in 19 games (14 starts) in his post season career and he is 9-3 with a 2.55 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. This was a solid low risk move for the Rangers to make.
