    This decision was probably made during last weeks meeting, but they must have had to wait for some reason.

    So, not to be a naysayer (nay), but will this make a smidge of difference to the Reds' overall success? Was Jimmy holding the Reds back from a NL Central crown?

    Wouldnt the chance for other teams to grab him off the waiver wire be over with now because his release is public? So maybe at the meeting, they did put him up on the wire and only now we are hearing about it due to no takers?

    I can think of a few games where he basically spotted our opponents 5 or 6 runs knocking the wind from our sails before the boat left the dock.

    judging from recent quotes, he seemed surprised and happy that he was still on the major league roster, and pointed out that he'd recently had a successful bullpen stint so maybe it was a good thing for him

    now, maybe he couldn't get loose fast enough to enter some game (seems unlikely given recent close games) or maybe Don wanted one last chance to fix something, and finally gave up. But I'm hoping that the Reds really think that Belisle is ready, and that they're actually right about that. And I'm hoping that they break him in slowly rather than throw him into the frying pan

    Good point, that's probably how it went down.

    if he was in uniform, then I don't think that he could have been on unconditional waivers the past few games

    you're probably thinking of revocable waivers. You can still play if you're on revocable waivers. Those are used in August

    No more so than Jimmy Anderson did last year.

    The roster move should be interesting. I actually hope the Reds don't call up a pitcher. They've got 11 on the active roster. In another thread it was mentioned that Kearns might be ready as soon as Wednesday. If so, maybe the Reds play one game with 24 men and have Austin take that spot.

    You're right, maybe they won't call anyone up. LaRue can come off the DL on Friday, I think. This is a John Allen-run team, remember.

    Matthews The Choice

    I'm told thru Bats players, that Mike Matthews packed up his bags this morning. The assumption is he's headed to SD to join the team. Details to follow.

    Bomb! This is EXACTLY what I hope happens. A second lefty in the bullpen, and one that has experience and consistency on his side.

    Actually, as indicated on the Reds site he was just put on the waivers, so they waited for some other reason. Maybe they thought they had another team interested.

    I thought the waiver wire wasnt made public until either someone was picked up or the time ran out?

    If that's the case it's just a matter of time.
