"Hearing Trembley threw Rhyne Hughes under the bus and that the clubhouse is turning"

[dhaze]

That is from Will Carroll. It would not surprise me as DT has a history of calling out young players(Pie multiple times) while staying mum about veterans.

Hearing Trembley threw Rhyne Hughes under the bus and that the clubhouse is turning hard against him. How long will MacPhail wait?

What did Trembley do to Hughes, other than send him down? Did I miss some incident involving Hughes?

[Lucky Jim]

Oh, jeez.

Yeah, Hughes - the long-time MLB stalwart - was thrown under the bus? Two days ago this team was absolutely ecstatic with its recent play.

I hate this rumor crap.

It may or may not be true. But this is the kind of thing that eeks out only by those with an agenda.

He embarrassed him by playing him when he's clearly not an MLB 1B.

Does anyone have any details on this alleged "throwing under the bus"? I'd like to see the actual quotes from DT.

Wouldn't this make far more sense w/ Reimold than Hughes?

I also love the use of "hearing" as if it's from multiple sources.

The throwing might have occured in the locker room.

Absolutely. Something could have happened in the clubhouse, no doubt. I don't mean to imply that I think nothing happened for sure. It's just the watery nature of these kinds of rumors that I dislike.

No context. No source. No nothing.

Then how does a Baseball Prospectus writer know about it?

That is what I am guessing.

How did the writer from Seattle know about Griffey taking a nap?

I think the term is sources.

Which is equally problematic. As it was with the Griffey rumor.

Couple of follow ups from Carroll:

Said he "needed to find himself" at AAA wo corresponding roster move. It's a slap.

It's the way it was done, more than what was done. Hughes isn't good, no question, but grinders are often well-liked.

[Lucky Jim]

That seems like a non-issue. I mean, is DT responsible for the corresponding roster move?

Hughes can't hit a MLB fastball. And he can't hit MLB offspeed stuff.

Couple of follow ups from Carroll:

Hmm, I'm all for replacing Trembley, but that really isn't compelling evidence...

Hughes flat out stunk and is minor league filler.

Now if he has info about him doing it publicly in front of the other players, or something from the other players that shows that DT is not well liked in the clubhouse, then he'd have something...
