More bad luck for Walker

A little more than a month ago, I wrote about how Todd Walker's luck was changing.

Oops, jumped the gun on that a little bit. On Tuesday, Walker is expected to be released by the San Diego Padres just more than a month after winning an arbitration case against the team.

While it seems like bad luck from the outside, maybe this could get Walker into a better situation. It seems far-fetched I know. But who knows? Walker could find himself in position to join a team with a chance to reach the playoffs and win more than one game.

On the other hand, Walker could find himself a chance to earn more at-bats and, in the process, set himself up beyond this season.
