Baldelli, Cannot Cantu updates

[Fishercat]

He typically is, but man, Providence is a rebel. He hates the Sox, Yankees, AND Rocco.

[Rufio181]

Wow.

Maybe he also hates Del's Lemonade, James Woods, and Buddy Cianci.

[Providence A's]

most people in RI hate the Yankees...notice I didn't say "Rhode Islander" that's because I don't consider myself one as I wasn't born here, but I have lived here most of my life.

I just think Rocco is overrated...nothing personal.

There's nothing wrong with what you listed Rufio...don't forget coffee milk...apparently that was invented in RI.

I don't think Baldelli is even rated let alone overrated!

[Providence A's]

listen to the people lining up here to carry his jock

[love_that_reefer]

OK rated by anyone that matters.

In the second game of his rehab assignment, Jorge Cantu (foot) had a three-run homer, an RBI single and a sac fly for Double-A Montgomery on Tuesday.
Cantu wasn't expected back until the start of next week, but it looks like he's trying to move up the timetable. His return could put Ty Wigginton in right field.

[Providence A's]

Cantu should be back on Monday

Rocco Baldelli (hamstring) played in both games of Triple-A Durham's doubleheader on Sunday and went 7-for-9 with two walks.
He was a DH in the first game, but he played right field for all 16 innings of the nightcap. Baldelli appears to be about a week away from returning from the disabled list.

Encouraging News I think.

Devil Rays activated outfielder Rocco Baldelli from the 15-day disabled list.
Now they have to decide where to play him. Baldelli had been playing right field on his rehab assignment, but the Rays are considering putting him back in center. That would result in a better lineup, as Ty Wigginton would get more at-bats than Damon Hollins. If Baldelli plays right, Hollins is basically the lone option in center, as Carl Crawford won't be moved. Wigginton then likely would see time at first base over Travis Lee. Mixed leaguers will probably want to wait a few days before activating Baldelli.

He was raking in AAA, so I guess an early call-up was acceptable. Bout damn time

[McKain]

Rocco Baldelli Time Yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Fishercat]

Rocco's done very well so far.

7-16
.438 BA, .971 OPS. And the Devil Rays swept...the Royals. Oh well, guess everything can't be fantastic, it's the Royals. But still, at least he's back

[Providence A's]

whoopie! the Royals! Rocco
