Thank goodness AJP isn't catching Teheran and possibly hurting trade stock today. We saw what happened last Saturday after Flowers went out with his injury.
 
I still can't figure out why d'Arnaud is on the major league team, but Aybar simply has to go. I'm probably one of the more patient posters here, but he's simply toast. I think the moral of the story may be, if you are going to tank the season, make sure the guys you acquire don't bring with them either a "Why me?" attitude or an attitude of "If we're tanking, I think 50% effort should suffice."
 
No ackbar of AJ. Wonder if they can give game7 a day off too and just let Eddie and TP manage this one.

What's the point in keeping him? They aren't competing anytime soon and haven't made an effort to improve the big league club. They are wasting him.

I don't think they can realistically trade him. The king's ransom he'd command no one would pay. Anything less would be a slap in the face to the fans. So here he will stay.
 
Freddie forgot to show up after the All-Star break. Maybe he should have been sent down to Gwinnett for a few games during the break to keep his bat hot.
