Travis Snider Optioned to New Hampshire.

PrintTravis Snider is activated from the DL and optioned to Double-A New Hampshire. I can't figure out why at all. Seems like a stupid move on many levels. The suggestion is that he is down so the team can make a trade and open roster room, but they could send Dwayne Wise down to make room for Travis. That wouldn't screw up any trade. Optioning Snider means that he can't be called up to Toronto for 10 days.
At worst having Snider up would allow some guys to have the odd day off. You could rotate Encarnacion, Bautista, Wells, Lind, Lewis and Overbay and give each one a day off every 7. IF all those guys stayed with the team all season it would mean about 7 days off each, not a bad thing.
Snider has nothing left to prove in the minors.

I believe
I broke this news on twitter and people didn’t believe me. With good reason.

I came in on it late....didn't see it started with you....
and I can see why people wouldn’t believe.
Yeah
I tweeted it when Travis told me and I guess people RT it to Bastian and he tweeted he’d look into it.

I am gonna go ahead and trust AA. He has done nothing this year to make me think that he knows the path this team and it’s players should be on.
WTF
This has Cito written all over it. He definably had say in this. I don’t understand why Cito would choose veterans like Wise over the future stars like Snider. I love Cito, I really do but he’s not the type of coach we need right now. Blair from the Globe and Mail said a while back that Cito asked for another veteran outfielder and that is why AA went out and got Wise. WHY DO WE NEED WISE? WHY? WHY???
I don’t think it was all Cito. Every time Cito gave us an update on Snider, Cito made us believe that Snider will be back with the club as soon as he’s healthy. Perhaps Cito was lying, but I think there is something bigger in the works. When the dust settles, Snider will be back with the club in 2-3 weeks.
Bastian tweeted bout a week ago that Cito told him that Snider might not be up and they want to keep him there for longer than expected.

Snider
Ther’s something fishy going on here…Mike Wilner from the fan 590 knows something but isn’t telling…stay tuned for details…..possible trade I think
What did he say?
That suggests a trade is coming? And if so why send Snider to AA, unless he is part of it?
Is the most likely scenario
Don’t see what all the fuss is about. Snider needs a few more days to get sharp again, let him work out the kinks as it costs us little. Why rush back a key part of our future and risk further injury, he can take it easy at NH and be managed more carefully in terms of workload.
I agree. He only has to stay for min 10 games. I think a trade is in the works for Jobau or Overbay

Bastian twhip
“That’s weird,” said one Jays player when a teammate told him Green was DFAd and Snider was optioned to Double-A.
Ball.
i see no problem
1. He’s not hitting well right now.
2. You wouldn’t switch him with Wise because you don’t want Snider in Wise’s role on the bench.
3. You don’t wany Lewis or EE riding the pine if you’re trying to move one of them before the deadline.
Personally, I’d have him up and find playing time for all. But for a couple of extra weeks in the minors, it’s no big deal.

snider
It’s not what he said…when I asked why Snider was being shipped to AA he said “all will be revealed after the game” he didn’t say either way..but his answer definetly leads me to believe he knows something
SURPRISE!

Atlanta would do if Chipper said Hayward had a bad attitude. Bring it on we will take all your All Stars.

Another trade with the Braves could be kinda suspicious
some under the table deals maybe?
by YunelTheLazyLatino on Jul 17, 2010 11:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd trade Snider for Hayward. I would also smile all the way to the WS in two years if Atlanta did that trade

Quick Question
Why send Snider to AA and not AAA if they are keeping him down there another 10 days?
? to meet a specific coach ?
? to fix a specific problem with his swing ?
closer to Toronto?
or maybe they want to get a look at him not in the PCL

Cito has said a couple times..
that they want to keep him in AA to see some good fastballs and he’s more likely going to see them in AA than AAA.

Think it´s just about having one more pitcher on the roster....
no big deal… Snider needs playing time and probably they want to show EE to the other teams till july 31st….

Probably this
although i doubt anyone would want EE right now.
Either its simply for the pitching rotation to sort itself out… either that or there is a trade in the works (although nobody has mentioned anything about any more trades).
