Message #5342 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Rob Reed   Subject :   Dontrelle sent to Class A ball Date :   6/10/08, 11:33pm This is just sad for me... he was such an exciting player coming up and such an excellent example of an African American player with a passion and obvious joy for this game that we love... I hope you can get it together soon, D-Train! • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #5342 • Back to Topics 6868 reads 1672 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!

Message #5344 of 6634  *NEW* To :   Rob Reed From :   legalbgl   Subject :   Re: Dontrelle sent to Class A ball Date :   6/11/08, 8:48am While I agree that he is an exceptional person and was an exciting player to watch, part of his problems stem from his weight gain. If you notice, he can not lift his leg as high as he used to, which has reduced his movement and velocity. He needs to get that back under control before he will get better. As much as I like him, I am very glad that the Mets did not get him! • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #5344 • Back to Topics 6156 reads

Message #5348 of 6634  *NEW* To :   JoeKool2322 From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   Re: Dontrelle sent to Class A ball Date :   6/11/08, 9:22pm I totally agree with Legalbgl concerning the weight and control issues, but it's kind of an insult to send Dontrelle all the way back to single-A ball. Going to AAA or AA would've sufficed just fine. In recent years, Dontrelle has been one of the most exciting pitchers to watch and his high leg kick makes me think of a left-handed Juan Marichal. I hope the D-Train reverts back to his old form soon. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #5348 • Back to Topics 7559 reads
