Whats the word on Charlie Manning? Is he a loss?
Reith banished to the minors?
That's what I thought I heard on Channel 5. Can anyone confirm this?

I can't believe people are complaining about this - Gabe White can pitch, sure he isn't having a good year, but Gully and Hume and White have always worked well together, and White inspires much more confidence than Norton or Matthews.
And if the Reds pick up Leskanic, even better. Guys with proven track records AND time with Hume in the BP is always a good thing.
According to this, we give up a player and cash to the Yankees for White.
Can this be right?
Cincinnati Reds - Acquired pitcher Gabe White from the New York
Yankees for pitcher Charlie Manning, a player to be named and
cash considerations

If we gave up Charlie Manning, Ptbn and cash for Gabe White, Dan O'brien needs to be fired.
Yes they were. This is more like prisoner exchange than a trade.Quote:

Side prediction, Richie Gardner's heading to Chattanooga in the very near future (perhaps tomorrow).
That's what I'm thinking. I also think this is a shot across the bow of the Cards. We'll be playing them a bunch in the next month and having 3 lefties in there could neutralize Edmonds and Renteria. I don't see what the big fuss is about. Everyone complained when Gabe was traded and no one liked Manning. Now we got Gabe back and Manning is gone and everyone is complaining again.Quote:

time to move on curtis leskanic now-he has been thriwing better since his bad start.93 plus fastball and good slider,
Agreed...but which is it...did we get White, cash, and PTBNL? Or did we give Manning, cash, and a PTBNL????Quote:

Hello, haven't people been saying all year that if we had last year's bullpen we would be in first place? Last year's bullpen including Gabe White and Scott Sullivan. If the Reds turn around and get Scott Sullivan as well, assuming he's healthy, all the better. Sullivan, White, Jones and Reidling are a good anchor in the bullpen. There are some other guys available so please shore up the pen.
I choose to believe that's a mistake made by some editorial assistant. The Reds can't be giving up cash in addition to dropping an extra mil on White, surely they're smarter than that.Quote:
