Easily. It went over the fence at the 365 mark, then there was what, 25 feet until the other fence that it also went over?

Sarasota ties it up at 4 in the 8th. Neftali Soto singled, Sappelt followed with a bunt single. Phipps sac bunted them both over. Kyle Day walked and Louwsma had a sac fly to score Soto.

Carolina wins 7-6.

[Caveat Emperor]

I have to imagine Lew Ford was signed to give the Reds a call-up option if someone else gets hurt. I don't think they want to run service time or lose options on anyone else at this point.

[LouisvilleCARDS]

Robertson is signed for $10 Million in 2010. If the Tigers would take Willy and Lincoln for him and say $1.5 Million, I'd give him a shot next year. It would save a roster spot, the Tigers save some bucks (and possibly could move the others down the road to save more) while the Reds get a starter for a $2 Million investment who is probably an upgrade to Micah Owings.

So you expect the Tigers to trade away who was at LEAST once a promising pticher, for two guys who have no hope whatsoever of adding anything to the team, for a small amount of salary relief? Another classic RedZone crazy idea. When will people get that Taveras has NEGATIVE trade value. There's a better chance of the Reds just paying the difference between Taveras salary and Robertson's salary next year without putting Taveras in the deal and making that trade than including him. In other words, NOT HAPPENING.
