My roommate is a big Indians fan and he said the Indians were interested in signing Garciaparra. He isn't around and I didn't save his link, I'll try to post it later if possible.

No - if we were going to bring in a veteran we might as well bring back RA.
I would love nomah at 2b, dont be gin me the d problem hello! didn't aurillia get time there last year? It is a gamble worth takin at under 2 million.
I bet he is really kicking himself for turning down that big contract from Boston! What was that 5 years for 60 million. I don't think any other player in sports has turned down that large of contract and then started getting injuried and underperforming and make so much less.
Not to mention seeing the decline in both him and Jeter makes me even more impressed as to what Larkin did in his late 30's.
At that price RA is still the better bet. He can play a decent 2B, has played with the infield before and has had a better injury history.Originally Posted by Topcat
The friendly confines of GABP could definitely help boost Nomar's offensive production IF he can stay healthy...I just don't see that happening though. However, if we could get him for $1 million for a year with incentives...it would, at least, be worth a look. I think there will be a bit more of a market for him than that though...so, I don't see that happening.

GABP gives up a few more homers, but basically has played as a neutral park. The Reds poor pitching and above-average offense has made it appear to be a hitters park.
I wouldn't expect a park slingshot affect compared to Wrigley, and certainly not compared to Fenway.
Stick to your guns.
I believe I read that Nomahhhh is seekinga 4 year deal.
I dont think he'll get that, but thats another story...
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.

Here are the Reds stats home and away though...the numbers are a lot closer than I expected them to be.

Would you be interested in the Reds pursuing the Nomar to play second (with Phillips at short) or as the right handed alternative for next year?
Loretta's a free agent. That was a post from last year.

It's a legitimate question that probably deserved it's owm thread for 2006. Too much old info here.
As far as Nomar here, it would be like getting Rich Aurilia minus the health. Too much risk. He needs to DH somewhere.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
Nomar has played 1 game in his career at 2nd, he spent all of last season at first.
He's done in the middle infield.
