No on Jennings. However, how about Byung-Hyun Kim for Larue? Kim was pretty much lights out as a reliever until someone pulled a Danny Graves and thought he should start. Add in AA Tulsa LHP Josh Newman and you got a deal.Originally Posted by Krusty
It seems as if the Reds are always late on making trades. The market for both Larue and Freel has pretty much diminished from last year when both players were peaking same can be said for Valentine. If somebody does bit it will more than likely be for Valentine do to the fact that he comes cheaper. I personally like Ross and the way he handles some of the pitching staff. It's too bad we couldn't merge all three of them together they each do certain things very well. To me Valentine is the man to go.
I'd keep LaRue and Ross.
LaRue is 75+/- ABs into the season, still plenty of time for him to turn it around, and there is no reason to expect him not to do so.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

I agree Joseph,I also believe Valintin should have been dealt over the off season.
Keep Ross
Get rid of the other two, we can find another back up catcher. WK found Ross, he can find Ross again.
Isn't Larue typically a slow starter? That said, I think his salary will scare a lot of teams off.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Don't forget, WayneO likes 3 catchers
Go Gators!
LaRue is a slow starter and a lot of fans agree with you about Jasons salary.
The truth is LaRue is being paid the going rate for catchers.
Turn it around to do what, hit .250+? Who cares. We need defense and Ross appears to be our catcher for years to come, get him more PT, even if he only hits .240 that is only the difference of what 10 or so hits? And he plays small ball alot better, which is what we need. With that said, Ross is out-hitting Jason Larue ACROSS THE BOARD so far this season, w/ 18 less AB, and the fact that he is better behind the plate, move Larue FOR ANYTHING, the cut in cap space is worth it alone
