Drew Stubbs for Wandy Rodriguez straight up?
Reds would have to be willing to take on payroll.

Tough call, doubt the Stros would do it, would have to add in someone like maybe LeCure or even Wood to get that deal done.
Why the hell would the Astros want Stubbs?!?
Because he is talented?Originally Posted by DocRed
stubbs typical example of reds overpricing their wares and continuing to invest in a guy cause he is a first round pick
He is goinng to be like toher legendary first rounders
Scott Scudder
Pat Pacillio
Pat Osburn
David Espinoza
and on and on
Wow able to evaluate talent after all of two seasons.....
You claim to be able to.Wow able to evaluate talent after all of two seasons.....
On players who have been around for a while you can, Stubbs has 2 seasons in the show so far. There is no way at this point to be able to tell what he can or can't do. If he can address his K issue which I don't see why he can't, he can be a very good CF for this team for the forecomeing future.
I would love to see these names --- the players that have struck out more than 200 times in a season that greatly improved in that category.
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
He is a good substitute when a fan breaks
Stubbs is 2 1/2 years older than BruceWow able to evaluate talent after all of two seasons.....
The problem with Stubbs is two fold
They have someone the same age that puts up better numbers
He is worse this season than last
Get something for him that helps the team and play HI-C in center next season
Yonder will be in LF and Bruce in RF
Hi-C should get playing time over Stubbs, why waste Stubbs on the bench when you could get something that helps the team?
Stubbs is a flawed but young and talented CF. He plays above-average defense with outstanding range. He's got remarkable basepath speed with a decent amount of power in his bat. What's more, he's earning league minimum and is under contract for five more years. He may have taken a step back this season, but he still remains one of the more valuable assets on the team.
Meanwhile, Wandy is a MOR pitcher in an unfavorable contract situation. He's been consistent but unspectacular throughout his career, he's slightly more of a fly ball picher (not good in Cincy). We get him for 2 years at over 10 million dollars for each, tying up our budget even further in unwieldy contracts.
I'd still be enticed by a Wandy trade, but he's not worth Stubbs.
Umm NO........WHY does everyone on here have a love affection for Wandy?.........The Reds have Wandy's, in the organization. ANd for the one that said the Reds needed to add another player to work this deal.......share.
bobby bonds?
He's gotta be near 1200 ABs ... having said that, Wandy no way. There is a market for Stubbs. I don't think Stubbs will ever be a great player until he can fix his K problem, but at the beginning of the year he was highly touted. Everyone assumed he would get better. There still is a big market for "one of the best young prospects in the game" that I remember hearing in May.Wow able to evaluate talent after all of two seasons.....
