    My concern as well.

    Other than that, I'll support virtually anyone donning a Reds uniform.
    Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

    Re: Who would you LEAST like to see as a Red?

    I really didn't like Deion Sanders before he was a Red when he was Prime Time and Neon Deion and all that crap. I mean, *really* didn't like.

    I loved him when he was on the Reds. Fastest player I've ever seen.

    I went back to not liking him post-Reds. No longer a severe distaste, but I'm just not a fan of his persona.

    I think I could put up with any player if he was on the Reds. It's the name on the front of the uni, not the back.

    There's rumors that Zod plays a mean centerfield. His UZR, some have claimed, is 100 per year and always catches home runs. He can play on my team anytime.

    EDIT: Just researched Zod's WAR. Dude is putting up 65 WAR seasons.

    Carp, Yadi, Nyjer for the obvious picks... I don't want that clubhouse culture, whether it wins or not...

    Off the beaten path? Carlos Marmol is more stress than I can handle...

    On the same line of thought but a blast from the past? Danny Graves...

    Oh, and I hate Lohse too... Thanks for stinking it up here, and being good in StL... Turncoat...

    I keep seeing sentiment along these lines, but I think one thing the Reds have capitalized on is getting rid of the "rooting for laundry" mindset. There's definitely a marketable continuity and character to this team that, as far as I can tell, has piqued the interest of the casual fan beyond what a winning ballclub filled with spare parts would have.

    Rafael Betancourt. I don't care about his performance, his slooooooooooowwwwwww pre pitch shenanigans make him unwatchable. I think hitters fall to sleep or are hypnotized, so they forget they are even hitting by the time he delivers a pitch.

    Ehhh, I suppose. I understand what you're saying and I really like the current team too. But the Dunn/Griffey teams petered out when it came to attendance. Winning trumps all and gets the casual fan in the ballpark. Losing is like a slow leak in a balloon.

    My order of things is:

    1. win with good guys
    2. win with bad guys
    3. lose with good guys
    4. lose with bad guys

    I'd swap 2 and 3...but I'm weird that way. I don't like rooting for people I dislike.

    true fact: Jim Coombs may drink like a fish, but his tolerance is such that he's never been drunk.

    I can understand Reds fans not liking Carpenter and Molina but Holliday? He's not exactly outspoken and hasn't done really anything jerkish.

    I believe Big Klu has a long standing issue that goes beyond Matt's tenure in St Louis.
