Unconfirmed Report: Tucker Suspended Indefinitely

[Valid]

I'm getting this from a Marlins' insider (yes, he's legit) on another message board:

The Florida Marlins have suspended right-handed pitcher Ryan Tucker indefinitely. Tucker, who is currently in Triple-A New Orleans, is on the 40-man roster, for the time being, and was looking to get called back up to the big leagues sometime this season. The 23 year-old has given up seven runs in two of his last three starts for the Zephyrs, running his ERA up to over 6. It is to be believed that left-handed pitcher Hunter Jones will take his spot in the Z's rotation. It is not totally clear as to what the 2005 first rounder did, but it seems to have been pretty bad for the Marlins to take such extreme measures. His case will be re-evaluated in two weeks by Marlins' brass.

If I get anymore information on this, I'll post it.

According to this article Tucker got into a confrontation with the umpire after his last start and manager Edwin Rodriguez was not happy about it.

He was dogging it, criticized his manager, and called out his teammates.

So what's going on here?

So what's going on here?

Tucker is going to be suspended indefinitely (probably today) for undisclosed reasons.

Yeah, I got that by reading the title.

Now if I go ahead and ask 'why' I'm assuming the response will be 'undisclosed reasons.'

Captain Obvious!

Ya dude, I dunno. The guy with the Marlins organization who told me said it was for "a lot" of reasons.

So, of the 5 pitchers we took in the first round of '05, all we really have to show for it right now is Volstad. Thompson is now with the Nats, Marceaux was released, West is hurt and now Tucker has been suspended indefinitely. At least we got something to show for it.

IIRC, Tucker was suspended once before for throwing a fit on the mound (in Jupiter I believe) when the manager went to take him out. Sounds like he hasn't worked his anger management issues yet.
