He's been reserved. Can anybody confirm. I'm not sweating Rasmus. He's very young for AAA and has always taken a bit to adjust. I'm sure he's pressing. They finally moved him down to let him earn the leadoff spot. Wait for it. Scout.com reported last week that Maiques was placed on the temporary inactive list. He’s been reserved.

I’m not sweating Rasmus. He’s very young for AAA and has always taken a bit to adjust. I’m sure he’s pressing. They finally moved him down to let him earn the leadoff spot. Wait for it.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Texas league bloated up Colby's stats too much last year and that he's nothing more than a .250 20 HR player.

His stuff didn't recover and he didn't have the command to prevent his 87mph straight fastball from winding up down the middle of the plate (and then in the stands).

He's playing great D, throwing guys out at the plate, he has 5 steals to go along with his 5 HR. He's just not hitting at all. In April his BABIP was around .200 so you'd think he was getting very "unlucky" but his LD rate was 2%. That's just terrible. Now, as Erik said, his LD rate is way up but he still isn't getting any hits. He's been worse this month than he was in April. I just don't get it.
