seems to be a baseless rumor jmac..

though it seemed far fetched something seemed strange over weekend.
jn knowing how bad our bullpen is and with milton on mound and pulling griff in 4th.then not playing him sunday.just seemed odd to me.

Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
And we keep going, and going and going.
Tony Armas JR is on the block.... Mr. K should give JimBo a call....

Do you have your shirt on? - Adam Dunn to Marty on the Bananna Phone.
I actually expect Zach Ward to be the starter after Homer to get an extended shot in the rotation.Originally Posted by Red Leader
I know I've read where some here have posted that he's best suited for the pen, but with his apparent makeup and college experience - if he can continue his extreme propensity for throwing ground balls, I'd give him a shot at the bottom of the rotation first.
I know that they haven't really challenged him yet, but I think that will change soon and excelerate next year.
Where did you hear that?Originally Posted by RedsMan3203
ESPN (Steve Phillips) listed 5 Nats who are on the block. Soriano, Guillen, and Armas, Jr. were the 3 I heard.Originally Posted by Blue
When all is said and done more is said than done.
The reason they were considering using him out of the bullpen is because he has a shortarm delivery that some think could lead to an arm injury. I think the jury is still out on what his role will ultimately be. I'll bet he stays a starter. Sure could use a promotion.Originally Posted by corkedbat
okay, thanks.Originally Posted by dabvu2498
He allegedly requested Lastings Milledge in exchange for Livan Hernandez, so there's no telling what he'd want. Worth a phone call, though.
Soriano for Dunn was thrown out at the beginning of the year by Bowden to Dan O who turned it down flat. I want no part of a Soriano rental.Originally Posted by reds44
I would do that in a second. Soriano is a better fielder, hitter and baserunner than Dunn.
