[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
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Walt was the one doing/not doing the "after CoCo" stuff.
He's an empty suit at this point.
This move allows him to clear his schedule to negotiate full-time with Alex Gonzalez for an extension.
- We've still got another season of the T-virus ... CF solved.
I've got a feeling, though, and I bet Bob would agree with me, that the addition of Rolen--and the intangibles that he brings--will raise the production of the entire ball club.
I don't care where they come from as long as they are good ballplayers.
I have to leave in a few min.. when I have more time I will.

At some point or time you have to take risks. Fans, of all teams, overvalue their prospects. Maybe this will turn into Larry Anderson for Bagwell but it is not likely.
This makes the Reds better in 2009 and in 2010. I love having prospects but anything can happen. Even with his injury history I would say the current Scot Rolen is more predictable than a minor league pitcher with 150 innings of professional baseball experience.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.- Stan Helsing
If the team had #1 and #2 hitters I'd say so, even #6. Given the manager, I'm thinking he's moving up.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
I'll take Encarnacion--who I hate--for 150 games over Rolen for 100 and Adam effing Rosales for 50.
I suspect Stewart and Roenicke would have been in our bullpen Opening Day.
Considering you almost always are in disagreement with the rest of "the board", you'll never find anything where the entire board agrees on something. Except that I'm awesome. Everyone does agree on that.
Sounds like John Cooper talking about his latest recruit back in the day.
I think in 2010 you get 130 games from Rolen and 30 games from Frazier.
Year one had zero follow-up. That was Wayniac.
And 4 year deals for mid 30s relievers aren't usually done for the later years of the deal.
I wouldn't. EE just can't make that throw from 3b to 1b, and I just don't think he'll ever be able to do it.
Where we gonna go?
Yes, but we have no idea, since he's managed less than that in 3 of the past 4 full seasons (and this season isn't to that threshold yet). I hope you're right, but precedent indicates the odds are against it.
I see through your disguise now, "this board!"
