Jason LaRue update

[Matt700wlw]

- Batting Average: .104.
- He is 1 for his last 22 with 11 k's
- Since opening day last year he's 42 for 239, .176, with 72 's


He went on the DL today with a shoulder contusion.

I am ready to concede that his days as a league-average offensive catcher were done when we sent him packing.

[jimbo]

Wow, those are some pretty ugly numbers. Glad the Reds made the decision they did to move him.

Thank God we have Chad Moeller.

[Chip R]

Thank God we have Chad Moeller.


We should get a pool going. Who will have better numbers at the end of the season, Moeller, Ross or LaRue.

[Red Rover]

Ross only needs to go 1-5 tonite to raise his batting average.

[RollyInRaleigh]

Not surprising at all.

I remember people complaining about that trade.

lol

[Redsland]

I remember people complaining about that trade.
I don't. Although I do remember people complaining about sending out $2 million and only getting a PTBNL in return. Oh, and the return of the three-headed monster when Moeller was signed. I remember that, too.

[Will M]

Moeller can catch a baseball.

Moeller isn't a whiner.

Moeller's salary is less than the money saved by trading LaRue so we did save some money overall by getting the Royals to take LaRue and pay ~1/2 of his salary.

[Always Red]

I was one that would have preferred LaRue staying; obviously I was wrong.

Just think, Krivsky could have dealt Javy and kept LaRue, Ross and then added Moeller? How 'bout that troika of hitting prowess?
