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."

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.

admit it, you're just jealous. It's not like he took the bat and beat the ump unconscience...THAT would have deserved a lifetime ban (and a life sentance at a FPMITAP as well).

How is what he did not assault with a deadly weapon? He should be banned from the sport and charges should be filed.

jim rome kept saying yesterday he flipped the bat at the ump. no, jim, he whaled that bat at the ump. if it had hit the ump in the face instead of on his pads that ump would need a new face

just wait til the player's union gets involved... they'll have him back the same week with double pay for the games he missed and an apology from the ump for being in the way of the bat.

i hate those unions.
