Miami Marlins get dumber, lose Ed Lucas on waiver claim to Rangers

Ed Lucas, the articulate, Dartmouth-educated utility infielder for the Marlins, was claimed off waivers on Friday by the Texas Rangers.

Lucas toiled for years in the minors before finally receiving a shot with the Marlins in 2013.

The 32-year-old infielder hit .251 last season with one homer. He started the season on the disabed list with a broken left hand after being struck by a pitch in the Marlins' final Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

In his two seasons with the Marilns, Lucas hit .255 with five homers.
