LaPorta was sent down to make room for a middle reliever with an 8+ ERA and 18 walks in 25+ innings. Man, that’s gotta bruise the old ego a tad.

so after a quick first hand look to evaluate where he is they think Shelley Duncan is a more valuable reserve left fielder. Maybe they’ll say he needs consistent at-bats but have to think his career in this org is on life support.

Call it. Time?

Time to cut our losses and trade LaPorta for whatever we can get, he’s done.

Johnny Damon is absolutely horrible.

Who did we have hope for Laporta or Andy Marte? Will LaPorta be out of options next year and we can finally on?
