Dear Scott Olson,

We here in the Climate Changeups! (that's right, we're back) front office have seen it all when it comes to players not playing:

Suspended for fighting with the other team? Check (thanks Derrek).
Suspend for arguing with the umpire? Check (thanks Paul).
Disabled list? Check, check, check, check, check, check...
Stomach bug? Check (glad you felt better in time for the game, Garland).

But insubordination? Insubordination?!?!? You seem to have a history of problems with your own team (punched in the eye by teammate Randy Messenger, grabbed around the collar by former manager Joe Girardi...and this time Sergio Mitre pinned you against the wall).

I know you're passionate about pitching, but please, let's leave it on the mound...we've got plenty of arms now, so no acting up or you're gone.

-The Management
