The worst part is that Guerrero has been demolishing all foes in AAA (PCLOL numbers: .376/.417/.735 with 10 homers) and was knocking on the MLB door. Rumors were circulating that he could be up in the bigs by June. Now he might be out for 5 weeks.[REDACTED]Comment

@JeffPassan: Royals clubhouse, 2009. Players are asked which teammate they want on their side in a street fight? Consensus: Miguel Olivo. Now I see why.The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
If only I had died instead of you
O Absalom, my son, my son!"Comment

SALT LAKE CITY -- The fallout from Tuesday's eighth-inning brawl begins on Wednesday for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, as catcher Miguel Olivo was placed on the suspended list.
The length of the suspension for Olivo is not yet known, though the Dodgers said in a statement that he will "remain suspended pending the completion of an investigation into the dugout altercation during yesterday’s game at Salt Lake."
It might not be the only punishment awaiting Olivo for biting the ear of Alex Guerrero in the dugout on Tuesday. Guerrero declined to press criminal charges against Olivo with the Salt Lake City police department on Tuesday, per Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times, but still has four years to file charges if he so chooses.
The Isotopes made a corresponding move, adding infielder Alex Liddi to the roster. Liddi was signed by the Dodgers on May 16 and spent the last few days at extended spring training at Camelback Ranch in Arizona. Liddi, 25, hit .176/.203/.303 with three home runs in 22 games with Triple-A Charlotte before getting released by the White Sox on May 13.
Guerrero hasn't yet been placed on the disabled list by the Isotopes, but could miss considerable time after undergoing surgery on his ear. Carlos Triunfel starts at shortstop for Albuquerque on Wednesday, with Walter Ibarra at second base and Miguel Rojas at third base.[REDACTED]Comment

Fucking Olivo, man.
Dodgers catcher Miguel Olivo, asked what he would do if he wasn't a baseball player, said (translated), "I would like to be a boxer like #MikeTyson but without biting an ear." This was in spring training, two months before biting Alex Guerrero's ear.
Miguel Olivo, who bit the ear of teammate Alex Guerrero in Triple-A Albuquerque's game on Tuesday morning in Salt Lake City, was interviewed in spring training by Telemundo.
Asked what he would do if he wasn't a baseball player, Olivo said (translated), "I would like to be a boxer like #MikeTyson but without biting an ear."

The fuck are you guys retarded or something?
Of course his AAA numbers are inflated. That's not disputed. But that doesn't change that he was about to get called up to be a utility infielder anyways. They didn't sign the guy for 32 million to play in AAA for four years. They wanted him to get his minor league ABs and he got them. Not only that, he didn't disappoint. In fact, he is the top hitter on the AAA Isotopes, which includes Joc Pederson who is considered one of the top hitting prospects in the Dodgers organization right now. I'm not going to fact check, but I think he's the top hitter in the PCL for the time he's been playing (he was on the DL for a bit with an oblique strain).
Anyways, he was about to get called up. You dudes want to be assholes and say that the PCL numbers don't mean anything which is not true. Do they deserve an enormous grain of salt? Yes, of course. That's why I said PCLOL from the start. I don't know who this strawman is you guys are trying to embarrass. You can't see a guy OPSing out of his brain in the PCL and expect him to repeat the same numbers in the bigs. No one is doing that. Instead, the Dodgers see a guy who is crushing the ball in AAA, and you see your big league roster has Chone fucking Figgins on it, 1 + 1 = 2 and maybe calling him up becomes a good idea.
Herp derp, but you want to talk shit instead of using your brains so whatever. Guerrero was going to get called up to be a utility infielder, not the next Yasiel Puig. Instead, they called up the other overpriced Cuban today. Erisbel Arruebarrena. He's getting 5 years and 25 million to be a backup shortstop. He has zero hitting ability, all glove.
They wanted to call up Guerrero, but couldn't because he had to get ear surgery. So we get another guy who can't hit. You douchebags want to act like I'm making the case that we have a one-eared Puig down in Albuquerque or something.
Anyways, tell me more about the PCL and Guerrero, Obst. You're a brilliant VSN beisbol poster, aren't you?[REDACTED]Comment
