I remember when he pitched a great game against Cleveland for us last year then we traded him. I have a feeling that will be a trade that comes back to bite us in the rear (as usual).
Sometime back I suggested that the Cormier trade was bad not just because of Cormier and the contract Krivsky gave him, but also because we lost Germano. Others thought Germano was just a disposable #5 at best etc. What Milton shows is it's not that easy even to get a reasonable #5. Germano has a good chance to be a major league pitcher, and I hope he does very well. He's having a lot better start tonight, incidentally, than Milton had for us. And he's a whole lot cheaper.
He's going to need more than one good start to convince me of anything. I'll stand by my opinion that his stuff is mediocre at best and we won't end up seeing much of him in the majors after it's all said and done.

What The Heck Did We Trade Him For

I agree Geramano is mediocre at best. At the same time, this was a club that ran out Michalek, Kim, and a bunch of other total stiffs during a playoff run.
Not to mention that Cormier was pretty much useless, and cost us something like 3-4+ million for gracing us with his pleasure.
Bad trade by Wayne.
[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
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Good luck to him
Go Gators!
Germano tonight. 7innings, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 3k.
I'd rather have Cormier
Pretty good, but he's no Dustin Moseley. oops.
would you rather have germano and moseley or saarloss and stanton
Cormier at the time had like a low 2 ERA or something I think. It was a good trade, just didn't pan out.
