Re: Predict the newest Red
I think there will be a lot of new Reds starting soon. I see Walt making wholesale changes on the roster, including moving up AAA and maybe even AA guys and trading a lot of folks. Including some of the good players. Not just deadline deals, but also off-season changes.
Just my feeling that Walt probably is now confident that he knows what he has, and that the next phase will be a lot of changeover to come up with a better mix.
I'll start with Scott Rolen, but I think that's the tip of the iceberg.
Re: Predict the newest Red
I thin Scott Rolen will be a Red for the 2010 season. I don't know if a deal gets down by the deadline or if one gets done in the off season. If a deal gets done in the off season I see a slobber knocker deal getting done.
I have a feeling that Weathers and Rhodes will be moved but I do not know their return.
Re: Predict the newest Red
I'll go off the charts a bit and say Kevin Kouzmanoff.

Me >>> branch >>> Josh Willingham
Re: Predict the newest Red
It would be much much much smarter to wait until the offseason to make a deal for Rolen, when his trade value will be significantly lower.
Re: Predict the newest Red
Ian Snell and Jack Wilson.
Sigh.
(On another note, would Wilson be a Type A free agent?)
Re: Predict the newest Red
Chris Heisey, Drew Stubbs and Justin Lehr.
Oh you mean outside the organization? No one.

This. But I honestly think we're closer to seeing McDonald brought back up before one of the two youngsters. And I am totally serious.

Interesting thought. MLBTR had some talk the other day about the Elias rankings. Check out their estimations.
Wilson is neither type A or B according to them.

I'd take that, as long as they don't give up one of the Top 4 prospects to get 'em (Alonso, Frazier, Heisey, Stewart). I would like to see Ian Snell in Red- I think he could easily turn it around and pitch up to his contract.
Again though, it can't be the only move.
Re: Predict the newest Red
Jaun Pierre. He would fit in with the present scheme of things.

Surprised many people think the Reds will be adding payroll when they are completely out of the race. I severely doubt we will be adding any players making $5M or more.

Cordero for Matthews Jr. and Brandon Wood? I also never said I wanted him on the team. It's just seams like a Walt/Dusty/Reds type of move. I don't think LA is inclined to move Pierre, but I do think he is inclined to leave.
