MIAMI - Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young's struggles have become so pronounced, just watching him hit has become a painful endeavor, and his slump has become so prolonged that the cries for a demotion to the minor leagues seem to increase by the day.

"He's struggling, but it could turn around," Diamondbacks General Manager Josh Byrnes said. "We've seen it with other guys on our team. Like any player, he's had some struggles, like May and June last year. He's scuffling right now. Hopefully he gets back in a rhythm."

Hopefully?? So instead of being pro-active and sending him to a place where the pressure is off and he can focus on fixing his "issues", you are "hopeful" he'll just turn it around? Yeah, right. And I am still hopeful that one day, I will be The Pope.
