Reimold to DL

[El Gordo]

If I had one (1) million bucks I could park it in the market and live comfortably off the dividends for the rest of my life.

I believe the average savings account interest would come to $60,000 on 1M. I could do ok with that.

Yeah, but he has like 7 kids and a ballplayer chasing wife.

Why are we still talking about Reimold?

It is a serious question. I need a concrete answer.

Please help me understand why people still think he should be on this team.

Thank you.

Because when he's healthy, he can hit.

Who is saying he should be on the team?

I don't think that's concrete enough.

Just to make sure that I have this straight:

(1) Reimold can DH, but he can't play the field due to an injury. So he's going to the DL.

(2) Delmon Young can DH, but he can't play the field due to utter inability to play defense. So he's making the opening day roster.

What am I missing here?

Well I am known for being passive-aggressive to everyone except the elite posters, whom I kiss the but of.

Been a long time since you could get 6% on a savings account.

There is a chance Nolan might get better?

I don't understand how a DL trip is supposed to solve the issue. His neck is fused, you have to expect some decrease in range of motion.

How many kids does Nolan have now?

How do you suppose his career opportunities outside baseball look?

You or I being able to do it has little to do with Nolan being able to do it.

Seventy Three.

Oh. I agree.

When he was healthy he used to be able to hit.....some times.....back in the day.

Certainly more recently than when savings accounts paid 6%.

If keeping Nolan out of action entirely could potentially enable him to recover more range of motion that would allow him to play the field in the future, then this makes sense.

Otherwise, we're just choosing between two righty hitters who are limited to DH duty--and I'd rather have Nolan Reimold than Delmon Young.

The only other way this makes sense is that we're hoping that Delmon gets off to a good start and we can peddle him to Seattle or some other team that needs a righty bat.

Correct... Living comfortably off of $10,000 (1%) may prove far more challenging....
