Tyler Wade is fast and he's a good fielder.

His lifetime batting average in the major leagues is .161 in 124 at-bats.

He also doesn't hit very well in the minors.

So he had a good Spring Training and expected to make the squad.

But he didn't.

Why are we talking about Tyler Wade again?"

"He wasn’t the only one. Because there is no timeline for Hicks’ return at this point, Tauchman will make the Opening Day roster, which led to Tyler Wade being optioned to Triple-A. Wade was vocally upset Sunday. When asked if he was pissed off, Wade replied, 'very.' "

Boone said Monday he was not upset about Wade’s comments to the media Sunday.

'Guys are allowed to be upset, guys are allowed to be frustrated. If ever there is a point where it’s unhealthy or a distraction then conversations happen,' Boone said. 'But Tyler Wade came in here and I think continued to make strides in his game every which way and was probably set to make our roster. I get the disappointment, I get the frustration and that’s OK. I expect that. We’re playing for a lot. These guys put a lot into their craft. I am OK with that. Now channeling the frustration in the right way becomes very important.' "
