And Rolen. And Ludwick. And Ryan.
How 'bout you ditch that jackass that keeps making things 'untenable' for talented ballplayers?
Oh, and for what it's worth, Rasmus still had options available. The Marlins just sent Logan Morrison to AAA to give him time away from the major league club, why not do the same with Rasmus? It's not like we actually got anything back for him. The White Sox traded Jackson for Frasor and someone's willingness to take on Teahen's deal: that was Jackson's trade value. We just got Rhodes for free, who's about as useful against lefties as Scrabble. And Dotel/Patterson are, at best, replacement level.
We literally gave Colby Rasmus away - why not send him to AAA until this LaRussa problem reaches its merciful end?
