    Naw - they'll bundle Dansby, Albies, Wright, Acuna, and Maitan to the Angels and get Simba back.

    Of course he'll then go back to being a glove-only guy with less range as he gets more expensive.

    Betcha we could even put Markakis with those guys if Coppy calls Theo and asks for Heyward back.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    And if he had that line right now (even that is probably a tad low because of the low BABIP), he would be about a 1-win player and certainly should not be benched or sent down to AAA.

    I'd disagree with that. I don't think .216 with wRC+ of 73 is particularly deserving of being in a lineup.

    I just hope this isn't a Francoeur situation where he was sent to the minors for one series and brought back.

    As for Snitker, the man has to go. I don't want him anywhere near our next wave of young, great pitching. He can't do anything correct when it comes to pitching. He either leaves them in too long or absurdly yanks them early. With the pen, he puts guys like Ian Krol in high-leverage situations when we fans know that Krol sucks.

    This probably should have been done three weeks ago, but Camargo was still in his test phase.

    This isn't the end of the world for the Braves or Dansby. I hate to bring up the Twins, but they did the same thing with Torii Hunter midway through his second big league season (and he had a lot more minor league experience than Dansby). Hunter said later it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Twins did the same thing with Byron Buxton last year as well. Dansby was rushed and suffered as a result. He should have never been above AA last season and should have started this year in AAA.

    Jace Peterson starting at SS tonight over Dansby.

    Surely this is due to some logistical thing, right?

    Will give Dansby more time to write his apology essay to the fans in the Player's Tribune.

    Players get one day of ML service time per calendar day on the ML roster or DL, up to a maximum of 172 days. He came up on August 17th, so they would get back a little more than that time back if he stays down all year.

    I'm glad Dansby is being sent down where he will play and hopefully work himself out of his funk instead of sitting on the bench and accomplishing nothing significant.

    Actually Snit is one of the lesser culprits in this saga.
