I was a fan of his signing when it was announced.  I thought he would be an excellent bounce back candidate.  But I was wrong(and so was our front office).  He's got a giant fork sticking out of him.  He gives us nothing offensively or defensively.  He is worse offensively than both Ortiz and Hamilton by pretty much every metric.  He's also horrible on defense.  He should have been credited with three errors in one inning tonight if not for a generous scoring decision and a tremendous play by at first by Vaughn.  There is no baseball or financial reason to keep him around.

So when should be be cut?  Well, I wouldn't want a rookie to face the defending world champions.  And the series against the cardinals would also seem to have a little more importance to give a rookie his first taste of the bigs.  However after the Cards series there is a Thursday off day followed by a short 3 game road trip in Houston before a 4 game homestand against the giants.  Neither of those teams are playing great baseball so that would be a good stretch to get a rookie's feet wet.  In fact after that the play Colorado and the A's.  4 series against average at best before they play some tougher competition.

So I'm hoping Rengifo is DFA's Thursday May 28th.  Nothing against the guy but he just can't play.
