Not to be confused with Joe Don Baker, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio or other three name celebrities, journeyman pitcher Gleaton has an impressive Nerd Baseball pedigree. In 1980, he was involved in trade that included fellow nerds Rick Auerbach and Mario Mendoza. He was drafted in the first round by the Texas Rangers in 1979.
When your team’s top two starters are Vicente Padilla and Kevin Millwood, you should realize your team is in trouble. How do you fix this, you might ask? Obviously, you don’t pick a name off of this year’s list of free agent pitchers. You could throw a dart at that list and it might land on names such as CC Sabathia, Ben Sheets, AJ Burnett, Derek Lowe, or John Smoltz. Throwing a dart at a piece of paper to improve your team would be irresponsible. Instead, you think logically and sign Andruw Jones and Omar Vizquel to minor league contracts.
I used to think Ned Coletti was the worst GM in baseball but the Rangers’ GM Jon Daniels just won my vote.
