Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Could Delmon be back after all?

Apparently those rumors about the Rays reaquiring Delmon Young still have some merit, per jayson Stark today:

Stuff can change fast at the winter meetings. Contrary to what I reported Monday morning on this very blog, there were indications Monday night that Tampa Bay was still talking to the Twins about a deal that would bring outfielder Delmon Young back to the Rays.

Tampa Bay likely would deal away either Andy Sonnanstine or Edwin Jackson. But the trade could also involve a third team, because the Twins aren't looking to add starting pitching.

With the Twins on the verge of losing out on their pursuit of Casey Blake, Colorado could provide an interesting alternative. The Twins have had interest all winter in acquiring Rockies third baseman Garrett Atkins, but haven't been able to find a package that would motivate the Rockies to move him. But Colorado is looking to add pitching, so the presence of Sonnanstine or Jackson could change the equation.

I'm not sure what to think about it.

On the one hand, he is as talented as anyone we have a chance of getting to play RF and he seemed to be a good citizen last year in Minnesota.

On the other hand, he’s only one year removed from being one of the biggest horse’s asses in Rays history.

You can't take the ass out of the horse...

yeah…..something like that. Point is, he embarassed the TB franchise with his throwing the bat stunt. There is no way in hell they should even consider bringing him back. At some point, these players need to start being held accountable for their actions. Just because he is good at baseball doesn’t give him a free pass to be a “horse’s ass”.

The bat throwing was one thing...

but what disturbed me more was the way he spoke to Maddon.

Would the Rays then flip Young?

It would be fun if the Rays re-acquire Young then deal him away shortly thereafter similar to the original trade.

Anyway, as I was lying in the puddle, I think I may have found a way for us to get Bonds and Griffey, and we wouldn't have to give up that much.
