I went home sick from work, and Mo said that Dusty said Walt would have an announcement about Rolen today.
Has anyone heard anything yet?

Mo later said Walt mentioned he's involved in arbitration matters all day and would not be announcing anything today.

Is anyone else tired of this silly drama? Just make a decision already. I'm at the point now where I hope he retires. Anytime one players decisions start to be more newsworthy than the team, it shows me that player needs to go.
Rolen was a great benefit to this organization. We received 3 years of "player by example" and I'm sure the kids have learned. But taking 4 months plus to make a decision that you by all accounts already made is ridiculous.
Let it go Scotty.

I'm guessing he's made his decision, and the Reds are waiting for PR reasons.
How much of this dilemma is driven by Scott taking a called third strike to possibly end his career. I know personally something so small could drive me nuts...

Reds President of Baseball Operations and GM Walt Jocketty said of 3B Scott Rolen, who will not be attending camp with the Reds...

There you have it.
Rolen is not the answer at 3B for the Reds ... but I'm not counting on Frazier to be much better. Frazier is better suited to be a utility player.
