I’m so tired of Ronny Cedeno. He has never matched the hype that surrounded him coming up through Chicago and has just been nothing more than a waste of space at the big league level. He is nothing more than a back-up middle infielder in my opinion. I wish the Buccos would give Wood, Ciriaco or d’Arnaud a chance to play more often and win the spot. I think any of the three could give you at least Cedeno’s piss poor numbers with adequate D. I am a Ronny Cedeno hater BTW, can’t help it, just can’t stand him as a player, although the mustache thing last year was pretty funny.

I’m guessing a Ronny Cedeno for Hanley Ramirez deal is probably dead.

I’m not arguing him on Clint or the NL. Thank you for pointing that out though. Although if I were to argue him I’d say Gibson would be more deserving right now. Just my opinion. I’m no expert. Clint is still doing a very good job, I’m not saying he isn’t. He’s taken that group of youngins and really guided them well.

Cedeno can field to offset his bad hitting. he’s not great defensively but he’s not terrible either. just your average run of the mill replacement level player

Clint can be NL Manager of the Year, and Gardy can be AL Manager of the year

If the Twin’s somehow end up going to the playoffs Gardy will probably get Manager of the Year.

Any mention of the Pirates should include the fact they are 36-37 this late in the year. Clint Hurdle deserves legitimate consideration for Manager of the Year IF they keep this up.

Because who’re they going to replace him with?

“…sixth straight season with a sub-.700 mark”

That really puts Cedeno’s career in prespective. How does this guy with those lines stay in the league?
