Elijah Dukes is mad and he's not going to take getting justifiably suspended anymore.

And he may leave baseball.

Whoo. Yay Elijah.

The D-Rays need to stop drafting high school punks and start drafting more mature college players.

They should have dealt him to the dodgers with Mark Slippery Hendrickson.

Tampa also needs to learn from Atlanta on how to draft high school players if they plan to keep doing what they're doing.

That's pretty damn funny. I hope he doesn't use up any bonus money he got too quickly as he's passing up a potentially multi-million dollar career. He seems responsible

suspended for 30 days

ST. PETERSBURG -- Highly-touted outfield prospect Elijah Dukes was suspended 30 days by the Devil Rays on Friday.

Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman made the announcement prior to Friday night's game against the Red Sox.

"One thing that's important to know in this is that we don't view this one particular incident as anything particularly major," Friedman said. "It's a series of small incidents that we're trying to be proactive and get in front of to try and ensure that he has a productive Major League career."

I wonder if these guys will ever learn.
