My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Mesoraco's not ready. Walt doesn't want Corky as the backup. That's what the deal says to me.
Sorry if that's not constructive, but that just about sums up my feelings here. IMO, Hanny was ready for starter, and Mes in the wings- Like sava, I say "why?"

I think it makes perfect sense.
Deal says to me, Hanigan will be backup all year. I don't care as much about Mes as that. Walt's already screwed half my avatar. Watch him bring OCab back to screw up the other half.Mesoraco's not ready. Walt doesn't want Corky as the backup. That's what the deal says to me.

Walt subscribes to the "if it aint broke" school. We won 91 games with Gomes, Hernandez, etc. I think we'll see pretty much the same split as last year and if Mesoraco really forces the issue, Hernandez can most likely be moved at the deadline.
Let's be honest, Corky has a great name, a great mustache, and handles his pitchers well, but his back qualifies him for nothing more than occasional start. I don't think Walt wanted to go in to 2011 like that.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Oh man that's way too much for 35 y/o RH, IMO.
We're going to pay a backup catcher 3 mill? Doubtful I'm guessing...

If that's the case... I'm on board. But with Dusty... we all know it doesn't work that way.Their roles (H & H) heading into next season should be reversed from how they began this season... I hope everyone is on board with that going in.

Until Hernandez gets banged up again.

It's a one year deal. I can live with that.
Let's see if Mes's 2010 is a fluke or the norm before we anoint him as the be all/end all solution. If he puts up good numbers at AAA through the end of July, then look to make some kind of move.
Hannigan strikes me as a part timer. Not sure he is an everyday player.

I like Corky Miller, but I only want him playing if someone better has gotten hurt. Good move, hopefully it'll be Mes and Hanigan in 2012.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Because it was not a bad idea.
Most teams need two catchers. Hanigan is not the type of guy who is going to produce if he is forced to play 140+ games.
If Menorasco forces himself onto the ML roster then the Reds can flip Hernandez.
School's out. What did you expect?
