Why the Reds must move Dunn and Griffey

To open up space for Cody Ross (The Reds are 1-0 in games he has played) and to bring back Tony Womack. Womack was granted his unconditional release on May 3. The Reds were 19-8 at the time but they have only gone 4-8 since. His lack of veteran spark must be the cause of the offense's slump. May 3 was also the day Ross went on the DL.


Dunn and Griffey can then be moved to the Yankees so they can platoon in left field (Reenactment Jr to play against lefties) and the Yankees can send a bunch of pitching prospects from the low minors because the offensive slump is caused by the Reds bad bullpen and lack of starting pitchers.

Wow...I'd have to disagree. But I have a feeling you are kidding.

Re: Why the Reds must move Dunn and Griffey

I would like to see Cody Ross play to see how'd he perform. McCracken isn't doing much of anything right now.

C. Ross + Womack > Dunn + Griffey

Don't know if I'd rather have what you are smoking or what Cody Ross is smoking.
I realize you aren't serious.
You AREN'T are you???

Re: Why the Reds must move Dunn and Griffey

I know that you are kidding but people have started threads like this in the past and been serious. Someone is always coming up with a theory that when one certain player (insert any name) is on the field plays the reds win or lose.
