Don’t worry. He will still be the next coming of “The Bull” 2.0.

I believe that the joke was that Ruff is Dennis the Menace’s dog.

The guy can flat out hit, has a fantastic swing and great eye at the plate. He will be a 280 hitter, 30 homer guy for the Phils or someone else. Most of the comments posted about Ruff show very little knowledge about why he was sent down.

Tough to say who will hit less HR’s this season, the Punch and Judy OF’s of the Phillies or their weak sisters in Queens. Mets may take it by a Duda.

Mistakes in the OF rarely end up on Sportscenter when they happen in Triple A. Let him learn. Still could have a bright future.

Seriously, you need help. Think about getting a therapist.

I’m thinking Inciarte, when Delmon Young comes back Mayberry may get traded, or Inciarte might be offered back.

Isn’t that Mcgruff the crime Dog?? Even he doesn’t go into Filthy. More bars on the windows then there are on the corners….

Yeah, he had a good day to, 2 doubles and the walk off.

It’s really the best move. He just wasn’t ready for the majors and rushing him would help no one.

With Brown really stepping up and Revere as Revere the Phils can do without his help right now.

BTW: Delmon Young hit a HR off RA Dickey today. I know everyone hates him but I’m hopeful he can pick up where he left off in the postseason last year. Fresh start, healthy, change of scenery, who knows? (correct answer: No one despite the know-it-alls on HBT)

that’s a real Ruf way to get sent down.

For the best – he looked too lost in the Field. He needs a season under his belt in Left – which will come in July/August (depending on how much weight you give his winter ball experience)

Are you sure that he isn’t a dog?

Trade him to AL as DH or 1B…he can’t play OF and there is no room for him now

I’m confused. I thought Ruf was the cure for all that ails Philly.

He definitely needs more work in the outfield so it’s the right move. Interesting you think it means a spot for Betancourt – not sure about that. Delmon Young is still going to be out for a month, so they’ll need a fifth outfielder to go with Revere, Brown, Nix, and Mayberry. Could be Inciarte?

Betancourt may still make the roster, but I would think if he does, they’d send Galvis down for some AAA work.

Eh, he needs more seasoning. He hasn’t played at AAA at all if I recall. He went straight from AA Reading straight to the Bigs last season after rosters expanded. I imagine he’ll get called up should anyone get hurt.
