http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/players/scott_cousins/57816 Recent articles about Scott Cousins en-us We're not even a quarter of the way into the 2013 season, and the umpiring across MLB has had its fair share of awful moments. Perhaps the worst part about all of these gaffes is that there isn't really a consistent problem. Of the five gaffes listed below, they're all different and unique in nature. It's not as if strike zones have been egregiously bad all year, or that numerous replay calls have been botched; it's been a little bit of everything across the board. April 8th. Rays vs Rangers Umpire: Marty Foster Player Screwed: Ben Zobrist The lone ball/strike call on this list is one of the worst I've seen in awhile, because A) it ended the game, and B) the Rays were in a position to put together a rally and take the lead against the Rangers. Foster's strike three call on Ben Zobrist came on a Joe Nathan pitch that was *way* out of the strike zone, and was a call that was so bad that Foster eventually admitted after the game that he probably wou...

Making room for him on the active roster, the organization has optioned outfielder Scott Cousins to the same farm club. Coello will provide bullpen depth for Los Angeles.

Because his asset is speed, this could be a tricky recovery and Los Angeles will want to make sure that there will be no chance at re-aggravation. Scott Cousins was called up to help fill the void.

The Blue Jays made the moves Wednesday. The 27-year-old Cousins was claimed from Miami. He's spent part of three seasons with the Marlins. Last year, he plowed into San Francisco catcher Buster Posey at the plate, leaving the Giants star with a broken left leg and torn ligaments in his ankle. Wade was 1-1 with a 6.46 ERA in 39 relief appearances for New York this season. The 29-year-old right-hander did not pitch for the Yankees in the playoffs this month.

Scott Cousins struck out as a pinch hitter with two outs and a man on to end the third inning Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals, then replaced Stanton in center field in the bottom half. Stanton singled to start the second and scored on Justin Ruggiano's two-run homer. There was no immediate word why Stanton was taken out. Stanton had been hoping to be a participant at the All-Star game as the Marlins' lone representative, and to compete in the home run hitting contest.

Injury and infamy made 2011 difficult for Cousins, a reserve outfielder with the Miami Marlins. He's healthy again and glad time has tempered the hostility directed his way after a collision last May that ended the season for San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey. Cousins' season ended less than three weeks later because of a herniated disc unrelated to the collision. Posey has recovered from the serious injury to his left leg. Giants fans vilified Cousins, who endured death threats and a bout of depression while expressing only remorse for what happened. Cousins insists moving beyond the episode wasn't difficult, because he did nothing wrong.

Snow. Why the switch? He wants new teammate Aaron Rowand - another former Giant - to keep his usual No. 33 when spring training begins. Cousins is already in Florida well ahead of the Marlins' first full-squad workout under new manager Ozzie Guillen set for Feb. 26. Cousins spent the winter rehabbing lower back and hip injuries in San Francisco only a few miles from AT&T Park, where his home-plate collision with Giants catcher Buster Posey on May 25 cost the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year his season. Cousins' injuries were unrelated. He says he felt it was ''only appropriate'' to offer Rowand No. 33 when he signed a minor league contract in December with a chance to win a job as a backup outfielder.
