Please DFA Manny Parra

[Hit-n-Run]

Sure is convenient the way Parra came down with a injury when Marshall was ready to return. Once Marshall shows he's healthy and back for the long haul, I'm curious what they'll do with Parra.

Don't know how severe the Heisey hamstring injury is, but if they had to DL him the options aren't great. Of course when you're hitting 0.176, what does it matter who replaces you.

I can hear this discussion:

"Heisey, you suck."
"I know."
"Better come down with an injury pretty soon."
"No problem."
"Good, now make sure you shut the f*** up about it."

That must be in the undisclosed bonus portion of the contract where you need a decoder ring to translate it. Top secret stuff, they'd have to kill us all if they told us about it.

Minor league managers in the indy league that I follow are constantly using the DL as their 23rd man. There is no other way to survive when you have to sign your own players. It's a bit different in affiliated ball, where you are at least guaranteed a warm body.

Unfortunately bad mechanics and worse plate philosophy don't qualify as injuries. Walt Jocketty plays his roster better than Dusty does, however. Sometimes, you need to give people what they ask for, them hold them accountable when they fail. Heisey, Parra, Dusty and Jacoby should all be let go for plying failure from opportunity.
