    Darn... now what pitcher are the Reds going to go after with the money they saved by not exercising Dunn's option? [/sarcasm]
    I'm not a hooligan. I'm a Reds supporter.

    Hooray Beer!

    Isn't that more than the deal he turned down in spring training? Good move for Big Z.

    By the way how good is the deal we got Harang locked up to? Z may be slightly better but Harang's certainly more mentally stable. I think Harang's worth every penny Z is.

    What, this year? You'd better check his career numbers against us.

    Not to mention, having someone like him on our roster gives us about a 30 game swing in wins versus what we've been throwing up (pun intended) in the 3/4/5 spots this year...

    I didn't check the stats, but it seems like we always hit him pretty well.

    I would hate to think we would even consider tying up 15-20 mil a year on anyone as mentally unstable as Zambrano. Hopefully there will be better options in the FA market during the offseason.

    Good luck trying to do better than a legitimate number one starter who is a mere 26 years old...

    Over the past 3 years Carlos sits at 3.90 ERA vs Cincy...the Reds are .50 better than any other team in the central (~3.25 is the next best team). This year...his ERA is 6+ vs Cincy.

    he's a strong arm that is always healthy, and keeps his team in the game. i would take him any day of the week.

    Thanks. We do hit him well then. I guess it because we have good lefty power, and a couple guys who can mess with him when they get on base.
