Can't polish a turd.

Craig Gentry has been moved to the 60-day DL, in case you were holding your breath awaiting his return.

Why don't they just release him?

non guaranteed deal

Richie's brother?

Cunningham's earned it. May as well give him a shot.

Sort of a jackass move releasing a player when they're injured.

[jsnpritchett]

Not really sure what the point of this move is, but ok.

How's Cunningham's defense? Ortega's D was pretty good but he was worthless with the bat

The Mythbusters actually proved this to be wrong. They indeed polished a poo

But you have to give them credit for trying.

I'm getting close to trying to ship off Cron and utilizing a Marte/Choi tandem to close the year.

He only got like 25 sporadic at-bats and is OPSing around .900 in SLC. Still young, and he missed a whole year last year. I hope we see him again later this season and he gets a chance at extended playing time.

25 too many... If he was slappyier, could run and field like Tanaka I would love to have him on our team!....

Richie's brother needs to quit flying open and trying to pull everything....
