John Delcos of LoHud is reporting that long time injured Ryan Church has been placed on the DL. For those scoring at home, Church suffered a concussion on May 20th, or 20 days ago.

This move would have made the most sense approximately twenty days ago. I’ll even be gracious, 16 days ago. Let him sit for three or four, see how he feels. Then retro DL him. He’s obviously been having issues lingering since his last incident, the second of the season. And you screw around with that, who knows. Mike Cameron claims he still suffers lingering affects from his season ending collision with Beltran from back in his Met days. Sure, Church had a few good appearances since then, but being that he was the most consistent hitter, were those contributions worth it if he’s now lost for a prolonged time because he and/or the team rushed him back?

At this point the team is pretty much a bad injury away from a fire sale at the All Star break. Personally, I’ll give them $40/wk for Delgado to come mow my lawn and do some cleaning inside the house.
