The main rivals are having some trouble with one of their minor league players (and expected major league contributors). The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (HT: ESPN.com's Buster Olney):

Memphis Redbirds second baseman Junior Spivey reacted harshly to a three-game suspension he served after missing a sign and then having a dugout confrontation with manager Danny Sheaffer last Sunday.

Spivey described the suspension as "absurd" and "a crazy, crazy deal" to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The suspension and an accompanying $250 fine resulted from Spivey swinging through a third-inning take sign. He and Sheaffer exchanged words after the manager pulled him from the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against Iowa.
. . . .
"I can understand fining me or making a point by yanking me," Spivey told the Commercial-Appeal. "But suspending me? That's embarrassing. And you know how that looks in the eyes of the fans. It makes it look like I'm the problem. I can't be blamed for the struggles of this team."

After which the Post-Dispatch article stated: "The Redbirds entered Saturday's game at 42-64 - the worst record in the Pacific Coast League. Spivey, signed to a $1.2 million guaranteed contract last December, is hitting .173 with 12 errors in 67 games."

The matter-of-fact reporting makes Spivey looks pretty silly.
