Stupid millionaires...
...play baseball. Latest example, I'm reading the headline:
Devil Rays Prospect Throws Bat at Umpire
Now, I read the headline and think to myself "What the hell has Elijah Dukes done now?" But, I click on the story to read it and I quickly find out that Dukes is turning into a saint while his AAA teammate and #1 PROSPECT IN THE MINORS Delmon Young has gone off the deep end in arguing balls and strikes and done the unthinkable.
I have not yet heard of any repercussions, but I am certain they will be coming. And they should, for this was the bonehead of bonehead moves...
At the beginning of the year, Young was mumbling about how he was disgruntled with the Rays organization for not moving him up to majors yet as he felt he was ready. Well, I think that it's quite obvious that while his bat may be ready, emotionally he has a long way to go. In light of this most recent outburst, Young better be prepared to toil down in AAA a long time this season.
Idiot...be a man and take a swipe at him, don't just throw a bat...
In other news, Jon Rauch completed the ever popular 1.0 IP, 4K inning yesterday. Gotta love that.
My Howie Kendrick watch stands at 4 AB, 0 hits, 0 errors...this seems more exciting than having a Barry Bonds watch.
Justin Morneau is terrible...but I don't know if he needs to shoulder the blame or if Twins coaching needs to shoulder the blame...could SOMEONE teach these guys how to lay off a ball in the dirt? It hasn't happened in years, I guess I don't know why I would start the dream now...
John Lackey...I just don't buy it...there is a blow up coming soon...
Here's a headline you don't expect to see: "Brewers sweep Braves." This just in - Ben Sheets, Good. When Healthy.
What is with these extended consecutive games with homeruns streaks? Morgan Ensberg, now Kevin Mench? What do you think? The dead ball era coming back anytime soon? Geesh...
One month (almost)into the season, Mariano Rivera has as many saves (2) as Shawn Camp.

Delmon Young, meet Milton Bradley... that's all I know... That said, if he had taken a swipe at him, he'd have been out for 30 days, and you don't want that!
Howie! He needs to follow the Richie Weeks path, once you get on your managers good side, you are in. Of course, that didn't work for Kotchman, McPherson, etc, but there's always hope, right?
Buy John Lackey. Trust me. He'll be a top 10 AL pitcher for the next 5-6 years. Last year, at age 26, H/IP down, HR down, K/IP up, GB ratio up. He's about 1 BB/9 IP away from being REALLY good..
Justin Morneau is terrible. Welcome to life as a non-Joe Mauer Twins hitter. Mauer is so good they can't ruin him, otherwise, they'll get you (see Walker, Todd, or Cuddyer, Michael)..
Morgan Ensberg, good. Maybe good enough to be the 6th best 3B in baseball, in the era of the great 3B.. which isn't bad....
I'll take Rivera -30 for the season total :-)
I'll take Camp - FOUR for the season total. Rivera will obviously be fine...
John Lackey, huh...I may have to do some more research...I will reserve further judgement until then...
Please trade Michael Cuddyer. I like him TOO much to watch him languish in a Twins uniform. I think Morneau's swing is just too long and have a feeling he won't hit anywhere, but I still think Cuddyer could produce...
I'll be honest, Ensberg snuck up on me...I never forsaw this power surge, but you are absolutely correct - in this era of the great 3B, he is near the top...I think I may have to make a top 10 position player list for you to pick at soon...
