Pardon me but what a dumbass move. And I'm not really one to get uppity over roster management.

If his achilles is bothering him, DL him and give him the proper time to get it squared away and healthy, once and for all.

But sending him down over Montanez? Just stupid.

It is really hard to be a fan of this organization.

I think they want him to play every day to get out of this funk. It's not going to help him sitting on the bench. Montanez is nothing more than than a bench guy.

I imagine Scott will get the majority of the time in left although Patterson should allow Jones to sit more against tough righties... then again, Jones can't hit lefties this year so who knows?

This is just plain old Stupid. I do not understand this kind of roster managemant. Tell me again, what does Montanez bring to the team?

[AgentOrange]

I actually understand the move. They want him to play everyday and get back on track. Let CPat play a little more and Scott can play more LF as well.

Makes sense because we are looking out for the good of the prospect.

[Oriol3s]

I really don't like sending Reimold down.

The ONLY reason I can think of for him to be sent down is that they want him getting playing time EVERY DAY and that they are planning to use Patterson as the starter for the next week or more.

Scott is just as bad as Nolan. At least Nolan has a future. Let him play every day up here and work it out.

While I don't completely disagree with giving him some time in AAA to work on his issues, choosing to send him down and not Montanez is just utterly ridiculous. I'd like to know who made that decision.

I'm reading between the lines with DT's confidence issues remark. I think besides working on his fielding, this business with the pregnent ex may truly be a big distraction.

[Going Underground]

I think Montanez goes down after the next move. I think they want Reimold to go down and get back his confidence.

[Dr. FLK]

Let him play every day and hopefully re-find his stroke...I'm fine with it.

Why not play him every day in Baltimore? Why would you put Scott every day in LF and not Reimold?

I think Reimold showed last year that he's a pretty consistent hitter. At least his approach at the plate is consistent. Scott is what he is...extreme highs, extreme lows. And Reimold still stands to be part of the long term solution here...Scott, not so much.

Would it be entirely too much to ask to give ONE OF THEM A FIRST BASEMANS GLOVE and tell them to go out there and it's sink or swim from a defensive perspective? By most accounts this spring, Scott didn't look awful there.

Reimold, as pointed out in another thread, has gotten a bit better over a recent stretch. Montanez has been horrid.

[b-rob]

If they want to let him play everyday, than let him play everyday as an Oriole. What the hell does it matter at this point. We're 9-24. Let him play everyday and have the comfort of playing everyday, and with time he will return to the 09 Reimold that everyone really enjoyed watching play.

[Florida_Osfan]

Sorry, but I don't get all the "this is stupid," angst-driven rhetoric. Nolan, plain and simple, sucks right now. I think LM is bad, too, so I'm not sure how they chose one over the other. But I'm not crying witch right now.

Let him hit the ball and earn his way back to the majors.

And I hope he's back soon.
