    He's not physically ready to play MLB games, but is able to hit AAA games? We just need you to swing the bat and feel free to take it easy running the bases. You've struck out 0 times in your rehab games this go around (and only once in the previous stints), so I don't think you have a major timing issue.

    Seriously, you can be "not ready" while playing 2 or 3 times a week at the MLB level.

    I think it's psychological at this point. He's got injury yips.

    790 is not allowed to rip Dusty or Moldy. You must have heard him gagging on Dusty's Shlong

    Baseball is 95% standing around. Considering he won’t find his swing for 3 to 4 weeks minimum…he’s ready. ;)

    I wonder what the reason is that Dusty loves him some Julks so much?

    I remember 790 heavily edited a clip in the interview with Pressly to make it seem like he preferred Maldy and then posted it on Twitter. It gave all the Maldy/Dusty defenders all the ammo.

    Pressly actually praised both catchers but all his compliments for Diaz were completely edited out. It was manipulative behavior.

    Dusty also kept him from any type of reps as a Sept callup last year (same with Vazquez) as well when there really wasn't any reason for urgency

    Julks having more ABs than Yainer and less than 20 fewer than Chas is befuddling. Like I said, I used to be for Dusty just delegating authority... I am now all out get rid of him.

    Salisbury RIPS Dusty all the time!!! I'm sure he was being sarcastic.

    I know what I've heard and call it whatever you want but he's questioned numerous moves that Dusty has made (specifically with Moldy vs Diaz).

    Dana Brown needs to take control of this roster if its not being optimized to win the most games possible.

    Apparently he also needs to be on the medical staff as well as the on field trainers as only one person in the organization is being held responsible for roster, lineup, medical, IL, coming back from IL, coming back from rehab, and promotion/demotion decisions.

    Maybe Brown likes the insulation? Easier to deflect blame? Who knows... but if you continue to call up or retain sub-par players like Singleton and Julks, you're going to continue to see lineups featuring such players.

    Is this a situation Dana created or one that Crane did?

    Crane doesn't interfere with daily baseball decisions... throughout his entire tenure as owner.

    OK, but he has allowed it then?
