I'd rather have him miss 2 home games and 3 road games than miss 5 road games where we will need him more.
My question is, why have him appeal when we could get it over with now, and can have him back for a pretty critical home stretch coming up next week, 3 with NYY, 4 with CWS, 3 with Toronto? The games vs. NYY are most important, so having Youk is critical, plus those are all winnable series', mind you Toronto and CWS being sweepable if we're healthy and playing well, IMO.
