Yasiel Puig - OF - Dodgers



The Florida state attorney's office dropped charges against Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig for reckless driving.

He'll still cut a check to cover a speeding ticket for driving his 2013 Mercedes 110 mph in a 70 mph zone in late December. Puig was also charged with reckless driving in April when he played for the Chattanooga Lookouts -- driving 97 mph in a 50 mph zone -- but that case was similarly dismissed. According to reporter Marisa Kendall, Puig's latest charge was dropped because he wasn't "weaving in and out of traffic, he did not lose control of his vehicle, he didn't cause other motorists to brake or make evasive maneuvers, and he was sober and had a valid Florida driver's license." If Puig keeps driving like he swings, he won't have a driver's license for much longer.

So, if your ever caught going over 97mph, make sure your

1) SOBER!!
2) VALID DRIVERS LICENSE
3) DON'T WEAVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC

I also heard he had his mother in the car.

All in redraft leagues, this guy will be the biggest bust of the season.

How hard is it really to get a valid Florida drivers license? I'm guessing the requirements are:
1. Ask for one
2. Not be too dead

I can't wait until you bid 32 points for Puig in our NL Only league!

I don't think he will be a bust. I have to believe that as long as he stays out of jail, and doesn't kill himself, he will be alright.

If the Dodgers knew anything, they would treat him just like the Cowboys treat Dez Bryant.

just in case DET I could help you out by taking him off your hands...

I would dump him in dynasty leagues as well. His value will never be higher. Plays way out of control.

I won't be getting him in my NL only unless he goes for a buck. I will make sure he comes out early in the draft when people spend freely.

Biggest bust of the year for where you have to take him or spend to get him. Might even be in the minors at sometime this summer.

We can see how this plays out over the summer but come September you will have to agree with me.

[Detroit]

We will see. Only time will tell...

Phillies is a genius!


Yasiel Puig is currently on a limited throwing program due to right shoulder inflammation.
It's an issue Puig dealt with off and on last season and it flared up when he overthrew during the first day of camp. While he considers the move "precautionary," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly wants to get to the bottom of the recurring problem. "We don't think it's serious, but we need to find out," Mattingly said.

Dang! Now joc pederson has path to mlb and is going to be mvp?

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Not right away. I figure at least a 20/20 season this year and a little trouble with batting average (.280 range). Then next year, MVP.
That's just an estimate though.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

In other news, Joc Pederson is on the market. I'll take a cash.

[Detroit]

I predict Puig will finish in the top 25 in all of fantasy players.

Just a hunch...

[Minnesota Twins]

I'd give you top 50, but top 25 might be a stretch.

[Detroit]

Yahoo has him pre ranked in the top 25.

I think it may depend where he bats in the lineup. If he bats 1st it will hurt his RBI total, but may help his SB total.

Only time will tell. I trust Donnie Baseball to manage him!

[Detroit]

After the 1st game of the season, I figured....eehhhh. Maybe Philly is right.

But, after last night, I retain my original thoughts about the top 25...

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly held a team meeting Tuesday to address Yasiel Puig's behavior.

Puig made two bad baserunning errors in the Dodgers' second of two games in Australia and then left in the bottom of the ninth inning with a phantom back injury -- all of which seemed to infuriate Mattingly (along with some Dodgers players). So Mattingly decided Tuesday to air the grievances, and it seemed to work. "I asked them to please keep helping me," Puig told ESPN.com. "Specifically with baserunning and hitting my cutoff man. I want them to help me with everything they can."
