Joe Saunders has been.  Probably.  I support this move.

UPDATE:  Saunders was signed by the Royals.  Which is exactly the sort of move that will probably work out for them.

Saunders had been trolling Rangers fans for months, bitching about not being in the rotation while giving up runs at AA and AAA (after all, he could be giving up runs for the big boys), and claiming repeatedly that he was "on track" and "pulling it all together" and "real progress" was "just around the corner" and we could expect "slightly better mediocrity" "any day now".  However, unlike Colby Lewis, who has exhibited a steadily increasing ability to throw baseballs at strike zones while missing bats, Saunders was quickly moving the other way.  After his last start, in which he gave up way more runs than he pitched innings, Saunders finally came clean and said "I haven't done ****."

What's most worrying is the possibility that the Rangers were just waiting for him to realize how bad he was before dumping him.

Someone made a bet.
