[Geowhizzer]

Ig's right.  Uggla wasn't doing anyone any favors at the plate (.186 for the season, .054 in August) and will be back in plenty of time for the post-season.

Selig also called the Tampa Bay Rays stadium situation "very, very discouraging."

"Baseball needs a resolution to this problem," Selig said with Stuart Sternberg, principal owner of the Rays, in the room listening. "I find it a very, very troubling situation. We were optimistic this was moving in a very positive direction. Unfortunately, it's stalled."

Selig said the situation was serious enough that he was giving "very strong consideration to assigning someone from MLB to intervene in this process, find out exactly what the hell is going on."

"They've been a model organization, extraordinarily capable," Selig said. "They've done everything in their power to make their ballpark situation work. Years have ticked by now with no tangible progress."

The team is obligated to play at outdated Tropicana Field through 2027 and is averaging just over 13,000 fans a game this season. The low attendance figures have led to the Rays receiving millions of dollars in revenue sharing.

"Without that, we wouldn't be able to compete," Sternberg said. "The other owners are looking at it. How many years is this going to be? How much money is it going to be? We should be able to get to the point where the revenue sharing dollars we would receive don't need to be so significant year in and year out."

Maybe if the Rays build a new stadium they can increase their attendance by 100 fans, like the Marlins did after they put the city and county on the hook for $2.4 billion of public debt. Why is the Tampa area dragging their feet on such a similarly great deal for their city?
