I was wrong when I got excited the reds acquired Eric Milton and/or Paul Wilson

Junior. But I think everyone got fooled by that one.Originally Posted by Mr.Redleg82
This team being a .500 team while Joey is out.
I was wrong about Homer Bailey: I thought he would be a elite power pitcher
I was wrong about Ken Griffey Jr: Disaster trade set up the lost decade
I was wrong about Sean Casey: Never became the hitter I thought
I was wrong about Danny Graves: I thought he could become a starting pitcher
Tom Seaver - thought for sure he would bring a couple W.S.
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Kurt Stillwell beating out Barry Larkin for starting SS.
"Lemonade requires a significant amount of sugar. Otherwise, you've just made lemon juice."
Eddie Milner being a Gold Glove CF with power and speed.
What if this is as good as it gets?
I thought Chris Heisey would hit 30 home runs this year if he was given enough playing time.
Wow, I thought I was only one who thought this back then.
From same time period, I also thought Brad "The Animal" Lesley would be a dominant closer for years to come.
Willie Greene and Austin Kearns.
Me too! LOL Man how WRONG we were! LOL
-This year's team being a WC competitor and not division, really. I figured we would lose the division by 3-5 games and get one of the two WC slots
-Griffey acquisition being the start of a new "era" of Reds baseball in a good fashion
Alonzo. Thought he would hit .300 this year. Not a power hitter so Petco shouldn't hurt him, as Welsh pointed out the large field spreads out the defenders to make it easier for a line-drive hitter to find gaps.
Perhaps batting cleanup gave him BP-syndrome, and he will flourish further down in the order.
I was wrong about Paul Janish being the SS of the future
I was wrong about Rolen having season ending surgery by ASB
I was wrong about Eric Davis winning an MVP.
Nm...
I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008
Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
