Ramsus hasn't played since 3/2 (4 straight games)

Buck has said repeatedly that 'certain guys' won't face Minnesota or division opponents in the spring.  Tillman is clearly one of those guys so you can pretty safely predict he won't be in a real game on 3/13.  Keep on kicking the can.

Tillman isn't going to pitch against the Twins, so it doesn't really seem like that would matter for him.

Rasmus is in the lineup today, so nothing to see here.

Let's see if he is in the lineup tomorrow.

Do we know if the opponent's starter is right-handed?

Also we are on the road tomorrow so I'm not sure you can read much into that either way.  Probably a better sign for him if he doesn't have to go.

Sorry, in an effort to be brief I was unclear.

Let us see if he is in the lineup an ordinary amount for a player of his handedness and tenure before dismissing the idea that something could be amiss with him physically.

[Aglets]

Sure.  I would phrase it like this:

If he's riding the bench a lot in home games against right-handed starters then I'd start to get concerned.

BTW it looks like the Jays will be starting Estrada tomorrow so there is a chance Rasmus may go.

Maybe he should play more because he just straight up gave up on a ball in the corner, according to the Jays radio guys, and let a ball drop in for a double (and error), costing the O's some runs. 

Umm.. you wanna make the team or nah? Get it together, guy.

Well he did quit last season so it might be a good question.

He also said he isn't going to play in the minors, so...

Like the player in general, but feel like I have to remain skeptical of just about everything relating to him. Is he gonna give up on balls in the regular season? If so, can he take a tongue lashing from Buck and not quit the game? We don't know.

It may well be true that he won't play in the minors, but I don't remember him specifically saying this. Do you remember where you saw it?

Sure you aren't confusing him with Valencia, who definitely said that and had it written into his deal?

I might have been confusing the two. My apologies, been seeing so many names pop up on the different blogs with stuff.

Rasmus had the hip injury, Valencia was the "no minor leagues for me." Got them switched earlier.

Are we talking Apples to Oranges?

Also wouldn't you want Rasmus to start more since he did not play the last half of the season?

I was there. It was not at all like they may have said.  There were mistakes on both plays. And one was an error.
