By the way, on Yuniesky Betancourt, he apparently went in -- on his own -- to see manager Don Wakamatsu today to talk about why he'd been benched the past four games. Wakamatsu laid it all out for him -- the part about having to show up to play every day, about joining his teammates for workouts. Both men had plenty to say to each other.
Wakamatsu said he came away feeling Betancourt had a better understanding of what was expected of him.
Which begged the follow-up question I asked: What the heck was stopping Betancourt from getting this message the first two months of the season? After all, it's been preached since the start of spring training four months ago.
"I think what some players are accustomed to might not fit into our coaching philosophy,'' he said. "We have a lot of work to do. Obviously offensively and to maintain and continue to improve defensively. We're at a point in the season where we have to maintain that and continue to improve. I think it's more for the education more than anything. It's not a defiant thing, or that we're trying to ask more of any particular player. I think a lot of guys are working hard. It's just our job to maintain the integrity of that.''
So what happened? Was he skipping practice or something?
Anybody got some info on this kid? potential? comparisons?Originally Posted by Julian Wright

Think Ken Griffey Jr. has helped erase any clubhouse tension for Ichiro Suzuki this season? When Ichiro laid on the floor in front of his locker to begin stretching Wednseday, Junior jumped atop him and began tickling him. Everyone - including Ichiro - got a good laugh.
Lol, what is up with Jr. and tickling!?
Back to .500... heading in the right direction...
I've heard him being compared to Darin Erstad and Chase Utley...always been a fan of Erstad but yeah..Kids got potential..hope he comesthroughOriginally Posted by DsLee559
As for Dustin Ackley, all I know is that he's from UNC and has a college career .410 batting average. Wow, the M's used the first couple of picks on bats; especially high school kids.
