Marlins have sent Logan Morrison to the minors.

Logan Morrison - OF - Marlins

Marlins optioned OF Logan Morrison to Triple-A New Orleans.
Morrison has been stuck in a major slump since the All-Star break and will try to turn things around against a lower level of competition. He should be back in the major leagues after a week or two at Triple-A.

ridiculous IMO.
slump?
not including tonight, over the last 7 days he has .300 AVG, back to back 2 hit games with a HR. slump?

[shmolex]

apparently it had something to do with an off-the-field incident

Yep, I'm near NYC, it's a mess over here, been raining for hours and supposed to continue all day.

At least these are no doubter PPD games, able to get those guys out of your lineups.

I'm so happy the Yahoo trade deadline is (nearly) past. At the end, I was trying to bully people into taking Papelbon. I didn't think it would really be that hard.
