We had an incident with CF Gary McKellar yesterday and it seems his former attitude problems have resurfaced. The hotel maid complained about his behavior and I tried to talk to him about it, but he was surly and rude and told me it was none of my business..... So he has been shipped back to Daytona (A) until he can show the coaches there that he is trying to change his behavior. We recalled rookie RF Phil Moore (23-R), who is only hitting .254 for the Tortugas.
