My view on Dipoto will change greatly with his next move. I have no issue with Dipoto suspending Steve for 7-10 days at the end of the year when he would not have played any way for a stupid comment that may offend teammates or future teammates. However, if Dipoto next non-tenders him, it loks like he punished Clevenger twice... and it looks politically motivated, and that is wrong, and flat out petty. One do one or the other - not both.
That is bizarre to me. Would you feel the same way if he was released for being the third or fourth best catcher in the organization costing $800k? I would non tender him for sucking, myself.
