I don't wish Jimenez ill will, but can you make it the 60 day DL?

[WEAVERMAN]

Ubaldo can go on up to a 30 day rehab to get things straightened out. At any point.

We need a break from U to get our rotation to perform even better, I hope.

[SteveO]

Looks like a classic Disgraceful List maneuver

Maybe or maybe there is something going on.

Either way giving him some time and working with him while out will do some good IMO.

I still believe Ubaldo will be a guy who is a goat now but will be big for us down the stretch. Getting him right now makes sense.

[WEAVERMAN]

It does seem rather convenient, but I can't see many professional athletes agreeing to a bogus DL stint. It couldn't be forced on the player with the player's union wielding their mighty sword.

It's not a bogus stint on the DL, but it's certainly something the Orioles don't mind doing, I'd guess.

I hate when they trip at home. At night.

[El Gordo]

They should really fill that hole.

Or maybe they shouldn't, and instead, hope a struggling pitcher wanders into that hole.

I heard DD had that hole dug especially for just such occasions. They tried to get Nolan to step in it but he refused. Something about not wanting to get a reputation for being injury prone.

Well there you go. They "do a thing". I think that is the definitive word on the issue.

[Dr. Unk]

What is a significant ankle? Lol. The other one must have an inferiority complex.

[brianod]

Two things. One, maybe I'm naive but I believe it. I once stepped in a pothole in a parking lot and couldn't run and limped around for 3 weeks. Two, as bad as Jimenez has been at times, putting him down for 15 days is very chancy. What happens if someone else gets hurt? Finally, he's earning 50 million over 4 years. I'm sure he's got a lot of pride. Do you honestly think that Buck would call him into the office and say "you have sucked, fake an injury so that we can send you down for two weeks"? How do you think that would go over?

Isn't it amazing how one can get away with passive-aggressive behavior with a wink or a smile? Judge without knowledge and make it cute.

Eh, Ubaldo hasn't been that bad since the beginning of June. 4.30 ERA. Really just had 2 clunkers. And since May a 3.73 ERA.

Hope he gets better soon. We're going to need him.

Here's hope for a swift and healthy return.

Yep. This is why I don't think it was a Strop type DL stint.

I've wondered about this, too.

It seems like over the last few years too many of the O's have come up with "timely" injuries when the team wants to make a roster move without losing a player.

We'll the rules are there for the players. You don't want one team keeping a ton of great players in the minors. All the player would have to do is say they aren't hurt and it wouldn't work. Perhaps Jiminez ankle is sore.
