Rangers Claim Darren O'Day from Waivers
Newsday.
This is a nice pick-up for the Rangers. I believe O'Day could be a very good reliever for most teams, and his groundball tendencies should work out well in the Bandbox at Arlington.

Darren O'Day, designated for assignment by the Mets last Saturday, is headed to the Texas Rangers, Newsday has learned.
The Rangers have been awarded the waiver claim on O'Day, 26, whom the Mets claimed from the Angels in last December's Rule 5 draft. A right-handed side-armer, O'Day posted a 0.00 ERA in four games for the Mets, allowing five hits and a walk and striking out two over three innings.
Where O'Day frustrated Mets officials, however -- albeit in a tiny sample size -- was dealing with inherited runners. He inherited three runners, and they all scored, according the Elias Sports Bureau. The Mets took O'Day off their roster to make room for Nelson Figueroa, who was filling in Sunday for the injured Mike Pelfrey.
As a Rule 5 selection, O'Day must remain on the Rangers' major-league roster. If the Rangers waived him as the Mets did, and O'Day cleared waivers, then Texas would have to offer O'Day back to the Angels.
