Jordany Valdespin of the Mets sure had an eventful Sunday

[jshep]

He has a .566 OPS this season, and the Mets decided to demote him to Triple-A.

 

He didn't take it well, to say the least:

"the exuberant utilityman snapped in anger in the visitors clubhouse at PNC Park, yelling furiously while his startled teammates looked on, according to two people who witnessed the episode.

The people requested anonymity to speak freely on the matter.

 

Bullpen coach Ricky Bones had to calm Valdespin down, according to one witness.

 

"He’s not helping himself," one person said of Valdespin. "Everyone gets upset when that happens, but you just need to shut up and pack your bags."

 

Valdespin had a similar incident last season as a rookie, when he became furious after teammates played a prank on him in San Francisco.

And then there's this:

Was told Valdespin had a confrontation with Terry Collins and called the manager a "c - - ksucker" and demanded to be placed on the DL.

Looks like someone is going to get traded or released.

Just another case of workplace violence....

[fan_since79]

He'll be looking for a new line of work soon.

[AngelArcher]

One of the best names in the game. Just rolls off the tongue.

I think telling Terry Collins he is a c--ksucker is probably a quick way to be put on the DL.

Angels can use a guy like that. He's fired up!

[Angel Oracle]

Jose Guillen was his role model?

[fan_since79]

Milton Bradley has a lot of stories to tell about excessive anger.

[Docwaukee]

I think this guy is a dickens character.

[Hollyw00d]

This reminded me of bull Durham

This guy's name is Jordany? Sounds like something Sosh would have called Walden.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Sounds like somebody told him about Cashman Field.

[disarcina]

How dumb is this -- the Mets may have been clearing room for a deadline deal and the guy might have been back up in less than a month.........

 

not smart.........

 

and now he has this episode on his dance card..........he better hit close to .400 because teams are going to have to over-look the attitude issues to give him a chance with them.

 

with all the bad boy stuff and athletes out there these days, teams are reluctant to sign the perceived problem guys.

Was there a Gatorade cooler in the vicinity? If so, did anybody speak for it?

 

I'm just concerned that there might be a rash of anti-Gatorade cooler violence occurring. Someone needs to be an advocate for the Gatorade coolers in the dugouts of the world.

[The Dude]

Valspar should probably STFU and do what he's told. What a cry baby.

LOL

 

You don't just throw a fit when you're sent to AAA when you're nothing but a Utility player!
