Uh-oh: Mariners suspend Carlos Triunfel indefinitely from team

Oh dear.

Seattle PI 

Shortstop Carlos Triunfel, considered by some to be the best player in the Seattle minor league system, is serving an indefinite suspension and is not currently on the roster of the Mariners’ High Desert team in the California League.

Mariner director of player development Greg Hunter confirmed Monday that Triunfel has been suspended for a violation of team rules and has been sent back to the Mariners’ minor league complex in Peoria, Ariz. to serve out the duration of the suspension.

The Mariners aren’t saying just what rules were broken, but this suspension has already lasted nine days, so it’s apparently not a minor thing.

Triunfel, an 18-year-old signed out of Venezuela, hasn’t played in a game since May 10 and Hunter said there was no set date for the suspension to be lifted.

Not true.

Current worst, and worst player to ever live are different. Plus as a DH he’s not the worst, just (very) far from the best.

Griffey built the pyramids

single-handedly. Without any help from those damn Egyptians. Not even from Cairo.

If the pyramids taught me anything...

Great Cairo trivia...

Cairo’s led the league in percentage of productive outs that year for players with a minimum of 40 at bats. Cairo recorded 17 productive outs in 32 productive out situations, for a PO% of 0.531. Given the potent nature of the Yankee lineup, the importance of these stats can not be overstated.

In fact, Miguel Cairo has the highest winning percentage of team wins when he plays in a game of any player in the majors this year (for players with over 100 games played).

Before the 2007 season started, Cairo changed his number from 14 to 41.

Fact checking:

Triunfel is from the Dominican Republic, not Venezuela.

That gave me a reason to log into my P-I account, which I would not have otherwise.

He'll be fine

Whatever happened, they’re trying to teach him a lesson in checking his ego. Hopefully it gets to his head and he comes back a more mature individual… or at least do a better job of fielding grounders. Yeesh.

Oh God, can we not make that joke

because I’m sensing “Triunfel for Atlanta’s table scraps” coming. At that rate, I’d be thrilled if they sent us Lillibridge back… :(
