Augie to D'Backs

[Schwarber Fan]

PHOENIX -- The D-backs have invited 17 non-roster players to Spring Training, including 2005 No. 1 overall pick Justin Upton.

 

This will be the second straight year that Upton has received an invitation, though this time he will spend his time in the outfield after being shifted there from shortstop at the beginning of last season. Upton wowed players and staff alike last spring with the way he handled himself in big-league games.

 

The other outfielders invited were Rich Thompson and Dee Brown, along with infielders Chris Carter, Augie Ojeda and Mark Reynolds.

 

Would have been cool to see him with the Cubs one more time in the majors last yr... oh well

Not really.

Don Baylor is not around anymore. Thus, Augie Doggie wasn't needed.

Exactly. Dusty's toy was Neifi. :D

Why? Even Neifi doesn't suck that bad.

What?

Augie Ojeda on his best day was about as good as Neifi was on his worst day, and Don Baylor was worse than Dusty Baker.

 

Neifi can at least claim some value as a 25th man making league minimum to play any position, and has a couple of career years where his numbers were actually respectable. Augie has no business on a major league roster, period.

The affection for players like Augie Ojeda is why people think Cubs fans are stupid. Ojeda never had any business on a MLB field.
