Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Juan Rivera

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but there's an article on the official site that mentions that Juan Rivera is going to be starting a rehab assignment on Monday.

Quoth the article: "Sidelined with a broken left leg suffered in winter ball, with brief 90-foot trots forming the extent of his physical activity, outfielder Juan Rivera will make his first rehab start -- or any start, for that matter -- of the season with the Rookie League Arizona Angels on Monday."

It goes on to quote Mike Scioscia saying that he could be in the 50-60 at bat range by the end of August or early September and that he could be an option later on.

Wow
He's probably coming back a bit too early, health-wise, in order to get ABs....

Isn't it now or next year at this point?
If they hold him out any longer, he will get NO AB's this year, due to the end of the minor league season.

WILLITS
If Rivera had not been injured, Reggie Willits would still be getting mistaken for Tommy Murphy in AAA.

Yes and no
He would have been a DaVanon/Owens type on the big club. (Or "Nathan Haynes," as currently constituted.)

the big question is...
did juan retain those cheesy hi-lights in his hair. if he didn't you know it's not a good sign for his power #'s.

we need that doushy asshole type of personality back on our team to piss off all of our opposing fans. i loved how he was always down to fight guys for throwing at us.

i would check this myself
but I'm very drunk, and while I can type all right, the mouse is a bitch on this laptop.

For how long do we have Juan?

We got him next year then
His contract may be up, but he'll still be under 6 years service time, so his next contract will be decided by arbitration.
