According to Marc's blog, Reds have traded two minor leaguers for Jeff Conine. More info to come.
Maybe it's the start of more moves to come.

Almost 41... scrappiness jokes ensue
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Zippity-do-dah...a 40-yr-old 1st baseman w/a .700 OPS.
If the minor leaguers happen to be Votto or Bailey, EFFING kill me.
Something doesnt seem right with this trade.

and the hits keep a comin......
Back to following MiLB; there's always hope for tomorrow!
I love it how everyone begs and begs for a move then when it happens their automatically disgusted with it
Why do the Reds need a 40-yr-old slap hitting 1st baseman. Yes, people want moves. But they want moves that will improve the team.
Why trade for a guy that is on the far side of effective, when there are at least two FA options that are much, much better (Wilson, Craig; Perez, Eduardo).
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

Concerning wilson , we know hatteberg is gonna play vs the righties and the NL isnt loaded with many lefties.
So my guess is wilson wouldnt come here for the same reason aurilia wanted to leave.....more playing time.
Aurilia started several games at 2nd, ss ,3rd and first.
Wilson would be at 1st with an occasional OF start !(unless injury)
It is not always a matter of whether the move was “good” or “bad” but whether the move was adequate enough to upgrade the team to a winning status from a history of losing. The question should be, do these moves make the Reds a winner, can they now win more games than they lose?
