should've made an offer to schoenweis he is having success with the mets out of their pen and i really liked him last year at the end of the year he did some good things for us when he was brought over

Or should off not used any of that money on either with the draft pick as well.Originally Posted by captainmorgan07
He didn't want to come back here!
Bingo!
Nothing can be done about that...he wanted to play in a major market...so he is. They could have offered him the moon and he would have turned it down....here.
Based on how he pitched today, I don't see how he would have helped.

Just not how he pitched today. He has been horrible lately. Getting a extra draft pick for fluff is a gem.
If I am not mistaken, Marty said a week or so ago that he signed in NY for less than what Cincy offered him.
Others have said it already, but we did make him an offer - we offered him arbitration and he chose to sign elsewhere. We'll see what we get with that draft pick. If a player doesn't want to be here, there's nothing we can do about it.
you are all right here fella's that situation had slipped my mind my apologies
whip 1.82
era 6.88
why would the Reds want him?

He'd sure fit in.....

Do you have your shirt on? - Adam Dunn to Marty on the Bananna Phone.
Lord, I hope not. If so, thank goodness he signed with NY. He's getting close to $10 mil for a couple of year isn't he?
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
He was a mirage in Cincy with a BABIP of .205 in 14.333 lucky innings.
WK made some curious moves last off-season, but offering Schoeneweis ARB knowing he wouldn't take it and with no intent of paying for those flukey numbers was a very good move. Maybe his best of the off-season.
Glad we don't have him and happy for the picks.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Relievers tend to have real mercurial years (expect for freaks like Trevor Hoffman et al), especially lefties. This is particularly true given the small sample size typical of such pitchers. Stanton has certainly had the better career. I'd rather have spent fewer $ than either of those guys and invested in long term solutions rather than patchwork.
Schoen...would have been a much wiser choice. However, hindsight is always 20/20.
