I agree. Trouble is from my reading on Twitter and at MLBTradeRumors.com, clubs are not willing to give up nowhere near the haul we think he will. I do not know the reason for this, but it's there. Clubs think that the price for Chapman is too high, but they're all over Leake. Go figure

I don't expect much from anyone for anyone we have. Cueto could get hurt going down a flight of stairs....making CarGo and Arenado go 0/7 might interest say the Dodgers even more.
It doesn't matter....I just want the Reds to win and he's still here, pitch him and then we can watch Homer struggle without Hanigan next season.
We are in total agreement here. The haul will be disappointing if he, indeed, is traded--I do not expect that he will. Like you, I want to win and Cueto is the best chance even if he is going to be. He's still a Reds so use him. Apparently other GM's think some are better than he is. So be it. I swear to you, he won't being that much because teams know that his price will be dear after the rental. Not going to happen.

Strange things happen in Denver when we have good squads, so watching a bad squad in that house of horrors is probably not happening for me this weekend. One of my least favorite places for a baseball game to be played. Its like watching baseball be played on the moon. The Rockies can have a historically bad team and still play winning baseball at home. Probably one of the biggest home field advantages ever known to man.
