Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton
Yippee.
Another geriatric left hander.
When will someone tell Wayne to stop collecting this chaff?
Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton
Depth is never a bad thing. Usually its the little moves that put a team over the top not the big ones.
Good signing.
Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton

Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton
It improves our bullpen, even though that doesn't take too much. I like it...

i agree. it's obvious that going with a multitude of young guys didn't make the reds winners. why not try going with a few veterans in the bullpen.
Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton
Stanton is a left handed David Weathers. It's a huge deal, but I'll take it over Mike Burns.
Re: Reds sign Mike Stanton
As long as this isn't our big free agent signing for the bullpen, I like Stanton who will provide depth. But if a 39 year-old Stanton is our closer, I'm less than enthused with this deal. Come on Krivsky give me Speier and I'll like our 'pen well enough.

Speier going to the Angels, per Gammons. Beliefs are in the $4-5 million realm. That's the difference btw Cincy and the big shots.
And that's why I hate the little bs moves being made. Take Rheal, Hatte and AGon's money and put it towards difference makers.

And hopefully Stanton gives Narron a reason to not use Cormier in tight games.

4-5 million doesn't seem to be too much for a potential closer. Good deal for the Angels, I wish we could pull it off.
The problem with putting all your money towards the "difference makers" is the cases like Griffey. If you put all your eggs in the same basket, and that player happens to get hurt. You are in trouble.
I wish we could have gotten Speier, but there are still some more solid arms on the market.

If that's true, this is an incredibly smart signing.
