His OPS playing for the 51's is 1.094.<br /><br />So yeah, it's a head-scratcher for sure.Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032630500956093231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-83142659669433397782010-07-23T12:24:22.800-04:002010-07-23T12:24:22.800-04:00This might sound like a stupid question, but why d...This might sound like a stupid question, but why did Snider rehab in Double A and not spend any time in Vegas? Would it make more sense to have him try to hit off a higher level of pitching in AAA, or get his confidence up by mashing pitchers in AA?Ian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074587524873409802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-53290310697778922952010-07-23T12:12:52.244-04:002010-07-23T12:12:52.244-04:00I'd like to see snider back, but hopefully thi...I'd like to see snider back, but hopefully this is the confidence boost that really helps him finally break into the majors with authority.<br />In a nothing year, having snider rehab extra long is only taking a toll on dedicated Blue Jays fans who'd rather see him hit ninth, than Edwin. <br />If the jays are able to move a Bautista, E5, Buck, or Overbay, or better yet, a combination of at least two of them, it could result in two players who look bored in the minors being called up/recalled; Brett Wallace and Snider, not to mention another certain catcher name Aaron Cibia, who is doing ok....i guess? HA!<br />I for one am looking forward to the production that comes from the 7,8,9 hitters in september, while we all wave Clarence off into the sunset on his farewell trot.PWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-60504484814438764372010-07-23T12:11:45.047-04:002010-07-23T12:11:45.047-04:00Years ago, I was an angry young man/I'd preten...Years ago, I was an angry young man/I'd pretend I was a billboard/standing tall by the side of the road/I fell in love with the beautiful highwayDavid Byrnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-30471279774236492892010-07-23T11:27:58.142-04:002010-07-23T11:27:58.142-04:00This whole Snider episode has struck me as bizarre...This whole Snider episode has struck me as bizarre from the start.
