Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
That's a lot to give up. I'm conflicted on this deal.
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
Stewart's the guy I mind losing out of that crew. That was probably the price of evening out the salaries, but we'll have to see.
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
Zach Stewart will win a Cy Young for Toronto. Bank on it. Seriously.

Right?
I think they would have to be.
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
According to what I've read, Stewart was highly thought of. But, I wonder if there was more to his move to the bullpen in Louisville than just innings reduction?
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
In 8 years people will be writing articles about how bad of a trade this was when Zach Stewart dominates the AL.
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
Is it really that necessary to do this deal to include a second pitcher? Really? We need Scott Rolen that bad?

I wish Redszone had a sub-forum where members could bet each other real dollars.

35 year old with back and shoulder problems ... woot
Re: Heyman says Rolen to the Reds
The only reason this trade was made - if true - is not only because of Jocketty's infatuation with Rolen, but because Jocketty actually believes this team has a chance in the second half. Geez!
EE's owed 1M for the remainder of 09, while Rolen is due 5.8M.

EdE...fine, I can deal w/ that.
Roenicke...ok, he's a BP arm...livable.
WTF on Stewart? Have you seen his numbers from this year? I just don't get this. COME ON!
