Jon Link

[102605]

The Chicago White Sox have traded outfielder Rob Mackowiak to the San Diego Padres for a minor-league right-handed pitcher Jon Link.


His stats were a bit rocky in 2006 but he has had some good success this year in single A.

Looks like he was the closer for the Lake Elsinore Storm.

I just went to the Lake Elsinore website...these guys had Shaun Estes on their roster, a 34 yr old has-been / never-was. Is he on a rehab assignment?

Funny. I didn't notice they had Estes. He must be on a rehad assignment. Only 3 games (started all 3).

Maybe the Padres grabbed him off waivers since they might need some insurance to the SP.

Actually, I think SD signed him before 2006, and he blew out his arm right at the beginning of the season, and he's still trying to come back from that.
