Wayne Krivsky has managed to turn this team from a offensive juggernaut to one of the worst hitting teams in baseball in less than a year. Impressive.
Because all of those homeruns were winning us so many games, right?

You don't have to score 11 runs a game, if you can catch the ball.

true this team will look different offensively.However , people forget this team went into a major slump for the last month.with decent #'s during that stretch,our offense would have looked alot more respectable.You would have to think Dunn and EE if not traded will supply 200-230 rbi.Jr would supply 70-90.
This of cousre barring trades.
most teams have at least a big 3 in the heart of the order.(stl=pujols,rolen,edmonds) which we would have in the above mentioned.
i still would like to see another stick but overall, i like the signing.

Just curious....all offense and god awful defense/pitching got this team where, exactly?

I agree Matt, the Reds may not look as sexy on the field next year without all the monsterous homeruns, but defense and pitching wins ballgames. We still have a lot of areas to fix, but this is a great first step in my opinion
Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez
a well rounded team wins ball games.

Mark Belanger -Lifetime OBP .300 and 8 Gold Gloves

From ESPN:The Reds had a .979 fielding percentage and committed 128 errors in 2006 -- second-worst in the NL behind the Nationals in both categories.

You're right. Godawful offense and good defense/pitching is going to win us even more games... Better defense and pitching is great. But sacrificing offense from a team that scored 749 runs last year is not the recipe for success.
Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez
You're right...this will conclude the offseason for the Reds.
All done.
Over.
Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez
It's better to hope for clutch hitting than to hope for clutch pitching or defense.
Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez
I wouldn't call Jr, Dunn, Ede, phillips in the middle of the lineup as Godawful. we won't be as strong offensively as we have been in the past, but we'll be a little bit better rounded
Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez
I understand that during Reds games they let the other team bat.;)
