Is it possible that he's making a joke? For all we know...he lambasted Hillenbrand all season for being a douche in the clubhouse, and was making a joke to his regular readers like, "Yeah, we'll bring him back because he worked so well, WINK!" If he had given a bunch of reasons after mentioning him, I could see your angle, but because he just sort of drops the name off at the end of the article and doesn't say anything, well, I'm just saying it's possible he was attempting a funny.</B><BR/><BR/>I hope not. And I don' think so. But again, in the interest of farness, there's a possible explanation.Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-1163700453538661992006-11-16T13:07:00.000-05:002006-11-16T13:07:00.000-05:00A couple of people have already written in to correct me: Hillenbrand was technically designated for assignement, not released. They also have pointed out that the Clubhouse Panacea Griffin wants for the Jays is the same guy who called Red Sox GM Theo Epstein a "fag." But he has a lot of smarts on the basepaths!...?...!Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.com
