He wasn't ready. He just came in (Saturday) night and he told me he didn't think he could keep going. He felt (his arm) was too weak. If we had more (designated hitter) days we could keep him.
More Quotes from Chip Hale:
It depends on where your team is. If your major-league team is in the race and they're trying to win their division or the wild card, you should only bring up guys that can win. If your team is completely out of it, it's nice to give guys a look and see how they play, because they're there to play.Chip Hale
I think that it's been a rough year for him, period. But at his age, and only playing half a season at Double-A (because of a shoulder injury in 2004), you really have to offensively believe that he will be a different hitter next year.

Whatever we can do to let the community know we appreciated what they do for us, we're going to do the best we can. We want to do things the right way, whether it's out here or on the field.

The minor leagues were constructed for the major leagues. That's why they're here. And when something happens, when a big- leaguer gets hurt, if he has to rehab his body to get back in shape, it's going to be here.

Every team in this league has had situations where either their rehab guys helped them win or they've had to deal with some bad outings or bad at-bats. That's just the way it goes. That's just another excuse. For me, the only excuse why we (were not) winning was because we weren't playing well.
