Jays DFA Reimold

Just to post the facts here: Nolan hit .212/.283/.404 in his time with the Jays with 2 HR and 9 RBI in 60 PA. In that same period, Young hit .312/.354/.506 with 3 HR and 12 RBI in 82 PA for us. And, unlike Reimold, Young was available every day since July 7 (the date of Reimold's first game), whereas Reimold spent almost 3 weeks on the DL. I still think Reimold can hit when he's healthy, but I think the results justify the Orioles' decision to stick with Young.

That doesn't even taking into account how terrible a fielder Reimold is. I don't know why we kept him as long as we did. I am glad he is gone. All these guys that people regret the club letting go get cut by other clubs Roberts, Reynolds, Jim Johnson and now Reimold. I celebrated every time one of those guys left. Why would we want them back?

I still don't want Delmon on the team.

For non-baseball reasons.

All there is the altercation while drunk a couple of years ago? If that is what you are talking about you must not want just about every Raven player off the team.

Well, there was that throwing a bat at an umpire in 2006. [video=youtube_share;wCX_XlRYYDo]

Listen to the announcer.. "Darnell McDonald and BJ Upton are on the bases". Then "oh that's a bad move by Delmon Young." Understatement.

Then there was the drunken assault and anti-Semitic tirade outside a NY hotel in 2012.... I can certainly understand the sentiment against Delmon.

D-Backs claimed him.

Yeah he said non-baseball reasons so I assume the bat thing was considered a baseball thing.

Like seeing the video of it as I had never seen it before. Seems like he has had anger management issues in the past. Thankfully they seem to be not occurring this year.

As for Reimold I am glad the Diamondbacks claimed him as that means we dont' have to hear any more posts of people wanting him on the O's.

Interesting. Best of luck to him.
