It's interesting that Wille023's prior postings have all been about Ward. Someone with a connection?

Maybe Willie is really Wayne and is bouncing trades off of us to see how we'd feel about them?
I tried a few and the only thing I can tell you is I can't find a good Twins message board. The few I saw mentioned nothing but they really didn't have many messages at all.Originally Posted by tbball10
Oh man I love it, everyone already hates the trade and it hasn't even been announced yet. Oh the hilarity...
By the way, if it's true, I'll take it. What's that old addage that's said on here all the time? Something about you trade pitching prospects for Major League ready pitching any day? Well, last I checked Zach Ward hasn't won any games for the Reds this year.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Guys you are going to have to trust me on this. This has 100% already happened. You can change the thread name if you wish, but that would not be wise. This is legit, literally just happened in the last hour. Ironically Zachs first start may be against Dayton. Talk about adrenaline!!!!!
It is official this is Marc's blog:
The Reds also have acquired right-hander Kyle Lohse from the Twins for minor league right-hander Zach Ward.
Considering Lohse (who's making $3.95 million this year) already has been demoted to the minors for three weeks and then shunted off to the bullpen upon returning to the majors, I don't know that he's the ideal solution here. But you can't consider it a surprise, in the wake of the Joe Mays experiment.
Its been confirmed by Marc Lancaster!!!
This is true.... i just talked to T.Wood.....
"Life is like a baseballgame. When you think a fastball is coming, you gotta be ready to hit the Change UP"
Willie is right it happened.
:thumbdown
Well, if true, it sucks. Plain and simple. Wayne you are stupid for making this move and I'm greatly disappointed in you for losing Ward in exchange for Kyle Lohse, a player that he has to know the Twins WANTED to get rid of....

Your Mom is happy.
Another awful trade by Krivsky. You trade a guy with great stuff like Ward for total crap like Lohse? Bring back Joe Mays!
Krivsky is regressing to Dan O'Brien's level.
Amazing what Desparation will do to a guy.
Oh well, with Gernamo traded, we had to grab a body. Otherwise you risk that Claussen isn't 100%, and you don't have anybody to slot in the #5 slot.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

GM Desperation? Wasnt that the title of a Family Guy Episode last seasons....?
Yea yea it was. Brian's nickname was Special K in GM Desperation!

EDIT: by the way I am just kidding- Special K isnt all that bad
Here's a comment from the Twins discussion board:
Just a thought.Regarding this one - yes, we got a lot for Kyle. Of course, it is only potential though. But we have to keep in mind, regardless of how many of us feel about Kyle, he is a 27 year old pitcher with 50+ Major League wins and a sub 5 ERA. For someone looking for a 5th starter, that is fairly apealing.
= Not very good at playing the game
Go Gators!
