If that deal goes down, I'm taking a year off from baseball. I'll reject reality and substitute my own via MLB Front Office.

All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
When I first saw the name Chone Figgins, I thought we might be on to something here. Then I saw he would be the return for Chicago.
What ever happened to the Homer Bailey idea? Sheesh!
This would be an absolutely mind-bogglingly stupid trade by Walt.

Gammons has to be smoking something. That would be an AWFUL trade from the Reds perspective.
I don't want to trade either of those guys for Dye. Homer + a prospect was already testing my limits.Originally Posted by Reds1
Wayne, I thought EE and Votto were supposed to be "untouchables"!? What am I misunderstanding here?!

And yes, I realize my last post, including my avatar, has two pictures of Sean Connery in it. Not sure quite what that means, but I realize it.
Move along...

All I have to say to that is...
You're the man now dog!

Well played, paint. Well played.

This trade, as defined by Gammons, would justify a recreation of the infamous "baseball bat" scene in The Untouchables.
At the plate, it's a time for individual achievement.
But when you're out in the field, you're part of a team.
But what if the deal included one of the Angels middle infield prospects coming over as well?
Still not all that likely given that the Angels don't really have something we need in their system as far as MI guys go.
Gammons didn't necessarily say it was a one for one swap Votto for Dye. Those would probably be the principals, but I would think there'd be others involved as well.
I feel very ill...
sorry we're boring
We getting Erick Aybar and Ervin Santana back as well?
Votto for Dye, Aybar and Santana. Let me think... yes, I would do that.
