Confirmed: Chris Young to be sent to Reno

He needs to do SOMETHING to get himself right again.

Please, please, please: this.

Do you think the Yankees would have pandered him for so long?

there is no hope for him. keep him there until spring training and then let him earn a spot next year. It became painful watching him at the dish every night. With his speed he could slap infield hits whenever, but he has gone down in flames this year by undercutting the ball. It’s like he wanted to be like Upton and Reynolds by swinging for the fences every AB. Hopefully he can turn things around.

Nick’s usually pretty fast. Editing now.

So what does that make our regular outfield? Oeltjen, Parra and Romero, with Roberts as a back-up? Still, not all that long till rosters expand, in about three weeks. Probably enough to keep us going till then, or Justin Upton/Eric Byrnes return, whichever is the sooner.

if you edit it while I’m editing it, it publishes whatever I’ve last written – which includes my sentences being cut off…

we never THOUGHT he’d have a high BA. He’s supposed to be the next Mike Cameron, remember?

Helps overcome a low average. But even then, his OPS+ was only 89. That’s the problem – he actually has never been all that good at the plate, and when the power and defense fail, that cruelly exposes what lies beneath.

I doubt the organization was thinking “we need to get Rusty Ryal here ASAP” or he would have been called up when Upton went down (we still would have had the 3 OF + Roberts situation we have now). He was just the next guy in line. Now it’s Allen.

For showing some big-time classiness. I say let Schoenweis do what he chooses – stay or retire. Maybe baseball is his catharsis. But also, maybe his struggles personally are affecting him on the field, and then not performing well just makes it worse. It could be a spiralling trend. We can make him a mop-up LOOGY. Not like we have a LOOGY in the minors tearing it up who hasn’t already proven this year that he’s no longer capable fo being that guy (::coughSlatencough::).

I actually hid that Fanpost entirely, to avoid any further confusion and duplication. Can’t seen any point in having three simultaneous threads open [including Yumacardinals Fanpost] to talk about the same player.

It was the same way when I recapped yesterday’s game.

Turned off until Twitter get the DDOS dealt with. It was just too buggy. You should be able to tweet it manually after the post is published.

“Could you please credit me?” It was an honest mistake on my part, I will edit it.

I was just going to edit the fanshot but a story has more capabilties.

So could easily have created it as a story yourself…

A good idea. I like it… Lots of research… dry information…. sounds perfect.
