Probably more relief than excitement, but still ...

I just hope Valencia continues to hit. BTW: did anybody claim Justin Maxwell? I never saw how that turned out?

I think today is 5 days...nothing yet on Maxwell.

Any normal GM / manager combo would have nipped this shit in the bud.

Why do you give even the slightest damn about 810? They aren't the radio rights holder so they don't have some kind of holy right to interviews.

If the players don't want to talk to 810 for any reason at all, doesn't even have to be a good one, fine I don't care. 810 can keep whining about it if they want, they aren't the New York Times.

Because 810 isn't the god damn problem, al. It's a convenient excuse to blame a media outlet when the players (and the GM and the manager) are being galactic pussies.

As 'penz wrote a few posts back: hit a few HR's, go on a winning streak and all this is forgotten. Until then, stand in there, field the questions, and move on. You know... Be a professional. FF's sake, you're getting paid like one.

Unfortunately, because of roster decisions before the start of the season, they're kind of stuck with Dyson for this year at least.

If they'd kept Boni, then you have a viable backup in case Cain is injured again. Without him, they have no real MLB ready insurance in CF. And you have to carry that considering how oft-injured Cain has been.

I'm assuming Dyson is out of options?

I think the timing of this might be a great wake up call for Moose. He ends up having to lug his ass up I-29 to Omaha, while the rest of the team heads back to SoCal (His home stomping grounds) without him. So he misses out on going home and playing in front of his friends and family, because he played his way off the big club. That's got to sting, and hopefully that will get his attention and make him work harder to earn his spot in the majors. He's been coasting on his draft position for most of the last two years.
