Rays prospect gets 50-game suspension for throwing bat

The International League today suspended top Tampa Bay Devil Rays prospect Delmon Young 50 games without pay for throwing a bat that hit an umpire last month during a game at McCoy Stadium. Young was playing that night with the Triple-A Durham Bulls. Young had been out on indefinite suspension. His penalty is retroactive to April 27, the date of the incident in Pawtucket, the Associated Press is reporting.

Interesting, question is, how long was the umpire suspended for poor performance on the job?
