When Sidney Ponson signed with the Texas Rangers he was signed to be a veteran at Triple-A Oklahoma who would see the majors only if injuries allowed.
Only signed due to injury to starter Brandon McCarthy this could very well have been the end of Ponson’s career.
Moved into the rotation at the end of April after [...]

The Texas Rangers have reassigned Sidney Ponson to minor league camp. He wasn’t any good in his first outing and he hurt his ankle in yesterday’s game.
Ponson had thrown three scoreless innings allowing three hits before exiting the game last night.

McCarthy who came over in a deal with the Chicago White Sox for John Danks has [...]
