Delmon Young has been suspended indefinitely by the International League, pending a review of the events in Wednesday night's Durham-Pawtucket game.

Young, 20, the Devil Rays' top prospect, threw his bat at an umpire, striking him in the chest.

"The Devil Rays' organization supports the decision by International League president Randy Mobley to suspend Delmon Young indefinitely for the incident that took place last night in Pawtucket," said Rays excecutive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman in a release. "We do not tolerate this type of conduct from anyone in the Devil Rays' organization. We will meet with Delmon and his representatives as soon as possible to further address this unfortunate situation. It cannot and will not be repeated."

Young is considered by many to be the best prospect in Minor League Baseball; he is ranked No. 1 by MLB.com's prospect list. He was voted as the Rays' Minor League player of the year in 2005, as well as Baseball America's player of the year for 2005. Young, the first overall pick in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft, is the brother of Tigers first baseman/outfielder Dmitri Young.

I went to a Durham Bulls game back when I was in college and I sat behind centerfield with my friends (saw Matt Doherty there, back when he was still coaching UNC, lol). The centerfielder for the opposing team was Izzy Alcantara. You might remember him for his famous minor league melee where he kicked the catcher and then charged the mound. All my friends shouted at him for the entire game; stuff like "Nice kick, Pele!" Rocco Baldelli was the centerfielder at the time for the Durham Bulls. We never knew he was a big time prospect, and we all thought his name was funny (cause it's the same as a famous male porn star's name). He turned around and smiled at us at one point.

Good times, good times.

for some reason I was expecting a total beatdown but still a dumbass for doing that.

Why does ****** like that happen to teams that can least afford to lose a player?

I sense a trap NFS4!

Well that was pretty dumb especially of the person regarded as the #1 prospect in the minors.

According to the article, this was a replacement ump as well, and for the minors no less. These umps prob. aren't much better than the umpires I had while playing little league years ago.

Here's a clip with the Alcantara clip I talked about above.

There's some other good stuff on there as well. There's a Bert Campaneris incident on there very similar to the Delmon Young situation. I wonder what happened to him....

 

[BigToque]

He deserves to be suspended. You don't do stupid sh!t like that. Is he 5?

 

[bradruth]

Indefinite suspension? I say lifelong ban.

 

[imported_weadjust]

He should be suspended for a year.

That clip was great. Old man Nolan Ryan whipped young Ventura's azz.

Headlock with fists to the head. Looked like the WWF

[zanieladie]

Serves him right...great role-model (sarcasm).

 

[Reckoner]

Izzy was insane

 

[Conky]

What a tard. Ban for life. What part of "Pro ballplayer" does he have a hard time with? And a minor leaguer to boot. :roll:

Nice clip. :thumbsup:

 

[QED]

A lifetime ban in the minors? pfft...

He'll be in the majors in a year or two anyways making more than any of us could dream about.

dmitri young was a varsity player when I was on the freshman team in highschool and that guy was a huge A!!hole. If his brother is anything like him he has a huge temper.

He should be banned for life. It was INTENTIONAL and malicious and should not be tolerated. I a SICK AND TIRED of athletes who think they are sooo good that they can get away with anything.
