Good point. My only beef either way is how public this is. I guess he's famous enough that sitting for a few games will provoke questions, though. Even with the rise of Buxton, Sano is my first stop in MiLB box scores because nobody puts up more fun lines than Sano. And that's at least one person who will notice an absence of more than one game.

But then I flop back and think more than a game for this is beyond disproportionate. If it's important, ream him out in the clubhouse, bench him for a game and give him the stinkeye every time you walk past him in the dugout, and then get him on the field for the next game.

Hitting 450 foot homeruns looks like a lot of fun. I know I'd want to see where it lands.

Yeah. He'd eat them.
