Go Gators!

It doesn't matter who they trade they won't get a quality proven starting pitcher. It ain't gonna happen.

... gotta grw those guys or trade for them before they blossom. We saw what happens when they tried to "buy" those guys.Originally Posted by WVRedsFan
I can't remember how this came up, but last night during the game, Hal McCoy said that in August, Aaron Boone returned $750,000 of his salary to the Indians because he said he didn't deserve it.
Wow.

If you don't make promises to your players, you won't have to break them.

I think it was a pretty awesome thing to do. I don't remember hearing of anyone ever doing such a thing before... I wish Milton would.Originally Posted by ghettochild

Pena is only 23 AND people just want to give him up for an arm. Do people realize without the horrible contract, he would be a Top 10 prospect in all of baseball. Compare him to players his age. Teams just don't give players away like that.
Who do you give away?

I didn't say Pena shouldn't be traded, but he shouldn't be given away. I think you should trade whoever you get the most from between (Kearns, Pena, Dunn, or Casey). Just trading Pena for some guy, is a bad idea, you might as well just keep him if you are going to do that. In baseball you have some teams that just have to wait until you get pitching and hitting at the same time. Mostly done thru the draft. Right now the Reds have the hitting part as we all know and the pitching isn't there yet. Like someone said earlier the only way you get a good to great young pitcher, is getting someone who hasn't made that jump yet or drafting them.
