Ummm...why?

The Twins signed former Reds closer Danny Graves to a minor league deal. He is expected to join the Rochester bullpen after getting his arm into shape. Graves, 34, had 33 saves for the Long Island Ducks last season, leading the independent Atlantic League.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Once again, let me say,
BOOOO DANNY GRAVES!!!!

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
And I think you know what Danny has to say to you...Originally Posted by Big Klu
err, gesture, not say.
Now that Santana's gone, Graves is part of the rebuilding process in Minnesota....
It's just mean to post an April Fool's joke several days later.
Danny Graves the pitching Juan Castro?
Go Gators!
I dunno.. Danny Graves had a small stretch where he was somewhat useful to his team
Once upon a time, you're right.
I go back and look at that stretch where the Reds converted him to a starter, then put him back in the bullpen as the ruination of his career. He never was a great closer. He simply didn't have the stuff, but his attitude didn't wear well.
I'd like to forget that era - 2001-2007 - but I can't. I just hope we don't have to add 2008 to that span of dates.

Rochester fans with OF seats best start bringing their gloves.
How exactly does one get his arm in shape to throw the gopher ball?
This,
would have been a better alternative. Cheaper too.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Wow. It's a small world.

With not many pitchers in it, apparently.
For me, the big surprise is that Graves is only 34. I guess I never realized how young he was when he was effective.
[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
