Volquez scratched from Tuesday start.
Per Jamey.
Arrived late for a workout in New Orleans, so they're going to delay his re-call, possibly until Sept.
Wow.

WOW
Wouldn't you...knowing your going to get called up to the Bigs...show up like an hour before your going to be there for any workout?! I don't understand people like this...
So I take it I am the only one
you aren't the only one

Perhaps
I agree
I wouldn't think that management would widely overreact if he was just a few minutes late and nothing else played into it but that may change depending on if more information becomes available.
I hope that more info does NOT become available
Apparently he was late, and it is costing him big league experience. I hope that is the end of the story.
A decision was made to delay his being called up to the majors, so the club had to give some reason for that. But as far as giving out more information, I don't see how that would be beneficial for the team or the individual.
I dunno
I guess I'd call it overreacting if the Rangers were in a pennant run, but they're not.
Since I'm an accountant

actually...............
If JuanDom pitched like Pedro Martinez his antics would have been blown off as "thats just JuanDom being JuanDom".
This is just what happens when you havent proven anything.
Being late doesnt matter if your Manny or TO or the countless others that are late and you never hear about.
Id love to know how many Rangers have been late for something this year..........
oh wait, I know, they all have......it was for the start of the season.

Yes
That's one of the best things about baseball. It doesn't seem like there are very many Vick-level transgressions in MLB. And I want it stay that way
It's not like he's banished forever. He'll be up when rosters expand in Sept.
well
has no one screwed up the night before the big day at the office and NOT showed up the next day?
its one thing to be late - its another to COMPLETELY miss it because you "overslept"
buy a fuck!ng alam clock.

Probably more to it ..

Overreaction
He's done a lot this year to prove to the organization he's developed the proper work ethic and what not, and I don't think 1 instance that we've all done before should warrant this.
I agree
How about a simple fine? That's still discipline. Hearing Daniels concerns about "bumping a Major League pitcher out of the rotation" is quite humorous to me. I wouldn't exactly call anyone in our rotation a "Major League" pitcher as far as 2007 goes. Would we really suffer if Loe missed a start?
This sends a message to the younger guys alright. It says "Hey I better not fuck up," which is true.
However, I think every minor leaguer who got to play w/ Edinson this year is probably pretty TO'd w/ the organization right now.
Idk, my 2 cents.

This is absolutely
I'm curious to know what Jamey thinks...
Just wait for the next report I guess.
According to Yahoo ...
Aug 20 Volquez will not be called up as expected prior to Tuesday's game, as he overslept and missed a scheduled side session at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday according to the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant's blog.
Recommendation: Volquez made a habit of showing up late and other similiar transgressions earlier in his professional career, so Texas management has to be disappointed at this latest developement. Volquez will have to wait until September before he's called up.
booooooo
sigh.
