Buck Hates Kim

[ORIOLE33]

If he wasn't one of Buck's guys, he wouldn't be playing, period.

More like, if he wasn't hitting 300, he wouldn't be playing.

[weams]

Seen enough after 23 sporadic plate appearances huh?

If a left hander has to replace the starter due to injury in the third or fifth inning, I'd give him a shot...

[Aristotelian]

Against right handers...

I would like to see him get regular reps against LHP before writing him off as a platoon player. But you are right, Mancini looks ready to step in as our DH against LHP.

Is this OK with anybody? No matter how good you, if you're not one of "Buck guys", you might be shown the door?

If we get a good return for Kim, I would not be opposed to trading him. It all depends on what we get. He is not a bad chip in a retooling scenario.

[Can_of_corn]

He is a legit LF. We need Buck to use him. But it might be best for him to be traded. I don't believe he is one of Bucks guys. IMO

He is a left fielder but I'd like to see the outfield defense improved and the O's will need a DH next season.

Kim's not a team player no matter what your eyes might tell you. The Orioles thought he should go the the minors to begin the season, Kim had the nerve to maintain that his contract meant something and should be honored. Imagine that! Is it any wonder that Buck soured on him? It's a good thing the rest of the team also decided to shun Kim, otherwise Buck might look a little dumb right now.

I'm good. In Buck I Trust.

Worked with Arrieta.

I wonder if Buck would manage at Norfolk if the team asked to help the team by going down there?

I have never seen/read where Buck Showalter wanted to TRADE Arrieta. If you have a LINK, I would be happy to read it.

[notyourbuddy]

Important game tonight in Toronto -- time to bench Kim.

Boy, that would sure be unprofessional of Buck to do something like that.

Thankfully I was joking. I've never had an issue with the Arrieta trade.

And everybody who has played has said the same thing. They would have done the exact same thing Kim did and refuse a minor league assignment.

Has Buck tried to seen Davis, Reimold or Schoop to the minors? Thank you Kim for sticking to your guns. If anyone's being selfish, it's Saint Buck.

And when did the team shun Kim? You loss me there.

Buck (Dan) could have sent Schoop down at any time this year.

Reimold started last year in the minors.

Reimold started last year in the minors.

But did he send Schoop down like he wanted to send Kim down? But that's besides the point. If Kim had the right to refuse to be sent down and he exercised that right and Zbuck is still holding it against him, Buck seems very small.

Kim likes his teammates and they like him. He appears willing to do whatever the team needs in order to win.

Just a little extra sarcasm. Over the last five seasons Buck has earned the benefit of the doubt and then some from me, but his treatment of Kim has been unwarranted IMO. At the beginning of the season the team seemed to go out of it's way to welcome Kim almost as if to distance themselves from Buck.
