Oh boy.
If he takes AB's away from Heisey or Stubbs, this is a god awful move. If he's just there as insurance, it might not be so bad.

I just threw up a little.
I saw this coming the day he was dealt east.
Vince Coleman was a Red for 4 minutes once, we survived.
Can he be any worse than Nix?
Maybe he'll find HGH again...

I don't really see any point to this move. I wouldn't play him over any OF they already have.
This was incredibly predictable.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
Fay says it's not official yet:
#Reds are talking to Gary Matthews Jr. Deal is not done. It will probably get done in the next fews days. A minor-league deal.

Yuck.. I'd rather gave up fodder for Conor Jackson
Jackson is not a crafty veteran and doesn't have a father who played when Dusty played and had a cool nickname like "The Sarge".
That is a cool nickname.
I wonder if this is simply some insurance if/when Heisey gets dealt. the Reds have two young centerfielders & lots of problems elsewhere. dealing one makes sense. maybe Walt simply wants someone else who can play CF in case he trades Heisey then Stubbs goes down.

I've always called GMJ, "The Private."
