TBGKon Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Maddon rips disgruntled Rays prospectsMy message to the Rays: I don't care how good these guys are and possibly can be, but based on their attitudes about the parent club, we should put the "three amigos" on the trading block. I'm sure there's a team out there that will give us something decent in return. I am appalled that they think of the major leagues like this, they seriously need to grow up and learn the meaning of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Are you really surprised by this? One of them did throw a bat at an umpire.Do they not realize that by there constant antics they are just helping them stay in the minors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The Devil Rays are such a screwed up orginization from top to bottom, they have all tehse high draft picks and produced nothing, they had one cant miss kid become a heroin addict, one suspended for throwing a bat at an ump, and the others just seem to be languishing in Durham. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 What would I do? I'd fire them. No trading, no "sorry, but we're letting you go" none of it.I hear one of those mouths go to yipping:"Oh, is that so? You're fired. Take your bat and go home." I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Usually when a baseball player complains I think "they should trade 'em to Tampa Bay" If you really want to 'get' these players, keep them in the minors, but have them ride the pine every game... however, that's just not smart management. Wait until the off-season, and try unloading them to some teams in 'firesale' mode (Dontrelle Willis maybe?) and try to make an attempt at going above 500 for at least an eighth of a season. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just Imagine Your dream has come true you are in the big leagues, but its in Tampa and you rather be selling insurance, what a franchise.I swear they might be the worst run orginization in MLB history www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 What's truly sad about all this is that these guys aren't even helping DURHAM win. They're below .500 this year thus far, after winning back-to-back IL titles not too terribly long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys have the chance to do something most of us dream about, and they're complaining? Send them to single A ball, and let them languish.

NJTank Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 They are in their 9th season and they have not lost less then 90 yet and there prospects end up having loads of off teh field problems and fizzle. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We all know about Delmon Young.BJ Upton? I'm sorry, I can't accomodate a guy who tried to cheat on a math test off my girlfriend in high school (the same high school that has produced David Wright and Mike Cuddyer, incidentally).Honestly? The only thing to do is to keep them at Durham for as long as possible. If you demote / fire them, they'll get what they want -- they'll go to an indipendent league (Atlantic League, probably) and get picked up by some random team who will plug them into their lineup.Let them bathe in "sewers". There are guys who would kill to be where they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Note: Apparently BJ Upton has reconciled and will most likely be called up by the Rays tomorrow to replace the DL'd Ty Wigginton at 3B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Note: Apparently BJ Upton has reconciled and will most likely be called up by the Rays tomorrow to replace the DL'd Ty Wigginton at 3B I wonder if that's due to the death threats these guys have been getting here since they besmearched Durham, or if its because they want to throw a little welcome-blanket party for him in FLA.
