2012 Darnell McDonald performance thread

[Mr. Mxylsplk]

Got it.

I'm glad you asked, because I had no idea either. (Though it might be a bag of dog turds, which really made me wonder what kind of guy he is).

[2JAY]

I just wish that Gardner would get healthy and put an end to all this Wise/Mcdonald nonsense.

[ajra21]

wise has actually been serviceable and i understand why they brought in mcdonald. they might pick something up for the current series and having another right-handed hitter on the bench isn't a bad thing.

[b-ball-lunachick]

those dreads just look gross...although I wonder how he's going to feel about cutting them if he's released in a week.

seems like a really nice guy - hopefully he gets a few big hits this weekend.

[ArodEra]

Even worse is the stench, as they typically don't get washed very often.

Here, here.

But enough about the Fenway faithful.

His daughter Jiana is a little cutie. YES should give her a spot. Funny interview of Pedroia:

The first two balls he hit in play went to almost exactly the same spot.

[philleotardo]

Go away

[ArodEra]

Great pick up. It's already paying dividends.

Yes, about five feet foul off of first base!

[NoodleRay]

Why did we need him, was he doing so well?

[yarosh25]

we tried..next..bye Darnell

Once again I ask, why did they pick him up? Is he here for just this weekend or do they see him replacing another outfielder? I feel sorry for him if they release him next week.....don't forget he had to cut his hair.

[-tz]

He may find it's more comfortable in the summertime with less hair on your head. Who knows? He may end up thinking that landing on the Yankees for a weekend was the best thing that ever happened to him.

This is working out about as successfully as when the Yankees picked up Alan Embry from the Sox several years ago.

His last name is Embree.

[fredgmuggs]

Is Darnell still on the roster?

[JL25and3]

Is Darnell still on the roster?

And if so, why?

[fredgmuggs]

And if so, why?

yeah, that too

[Eldee5]

I got excited when I saw this thread bumped. I figured he was gone!

[Billy Ball 2008]

Always thought Darnell's brother Donzell would become a solid major leaguer. Broke his wrist when he was with Columbus and was never the same.
