    Why?

    One season doesn't make a career and evidently if he didn't pass through someone sitting at a desk doing this for a living must think that one year isn't a career either, and they would actually have to pay him for it.

    Plus there are times that teams claim players as strategy thereby preventing a rival from getting a needed player. It could be too that he was claimed but the Reds couldn't work out a satisfactory deal.

    I think that our holes are not quite as glaring as the Cardinals' holes so I'm glad to see that this list doesn't have any difference makers on it. I think we'll be okay, I was just worried that the Cards might make a move.

    I think Milton could pitch a perfect game and there would be folks on this board who can't recognize the Milton v.2005 is much different than Milton v.2006. He pitched a gutsy game last night, IMO.

    Yes, he's gone from horrifyingly bad in 2005 to regular bad in 2006.

    If LaRue was claimed he would have been let go. Why would the Reds pull him back?
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    No way. Why would you give him away for nothing? If Ross were to get hurt do you really want Valentin as the starting catcher and someone from AAA as the back up? I don't.
    School's out. What did you expect?

    I would give him away just to dump the 5+ million he is owed next year. I could live with a AAA back up to dump LaRue.
