Where’s Willy?

Matt Watson at the FanHouse points us to a sordid tale of, um, well — actually we don’t know if it’s sordid. In fact, we don’t really know much about it at all.
Let me be a little more clear. Or at least as clear as I can be given the circumstances. Seems Atlanta Braves infielder Willy Aybar, currently on the disabled list, has done something to irritate his employer. If the three-game suspension wasn’t enough of a clue, then maybe this quote from Chipper Jones is: “I didn’t even know he was still on the team.”
This reminds me of Office Space. Pardon my warping the original message to suit our current situation:
Bob Porter: Looks like you guys are missing Willy Aybar.
Chipper Jones: I wouldn’t say we’ve been missing him, Bob.
Well, Mr. Aybar, whatever you’re doing out there, I hope you’re enjoying it. And remember, it could be worse. Your name could be Michael Bolton…
