Can someone tell me just what kind of prospect Travis Wood is?

Better than most people give him credit for. Most likely a #3 starter. If he can keep his new found control. He is very young, he'll be 23 in spring training next year. With the trade of Stewart and the injury to Volquez he will go into ST with a legit shot of making the rotation IMO.

Yorman is 1-for-1 with a RBI double. Nice to see because he's been in a slump recently.

In my opinion, which is redundant when posting because unless you are quoting someone of course it is your opinion no need to tell us.

The kind that will be dealt for a has-been with a 1yr contract in the offseason.

Did anyone sign Mark Mulder this year? They're probably licking their chops thinking about what they're gonna take Jocketty for.

[GOYA]

Carolina is in a slugfest with Tennessee

Mudcats up 8-7 in the 5th

Sarasota lost 5-2

Dayton won 7-2

Felhauer 2 for 3 with 2 BB (double)
Mendez 2 for 4 with a double
Puckett 2 for 5
Oliveras 3 for 4 with a HR
Wiley and Coddington with Ofers

Not true (IMO )

It indicates that you believe this way and that you may or may not be right. Others may or may not agree with you. Otherwise posts can look arrogant and irritate other posters.

For example Ilovethereds posts that he wants Travis Wood promoted to Cincinnati.

You reply... 'IMO he isn't ready yet. I'd leave him in AAA this year.'
Versus 'He isn't ready yet. I'd leave him in AAA this year.'

This first post shows more respect to your fellow Redszone member.
The latter can be implied that you think he is an idiot or can make him think you are a jerk.

But saying I'd do such and such indicates it is your opinion. People should not be assumed they are being attacked on a message board and that people are just posting opinions.

Nice night on the farm. Thanks for the updates GOYA.

Francisco is 3 for 4 and a walk tonight. Now has 20 homers and 67 RBI, probably leads Reds organization in both departments. Guy is barely 22 years old at AA. OBP has gradually improved throughout the season.
