Padilla is. Last time I looked his GB/FB ratio was around 1.1 I think.

Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez

at least we didn't trade for one. safe to say the chance of RA coming back is nil.

Re: Gammons reports reds sign Alex Gonzalez

This organization just continues to get dumber and dumber. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it does. .299 OBP last year for Gonzalez. Awful. And you just know Narron will bat him second.

Wayne Krivsky has managed to turn this team from a offensive juggernaut to one of the worst hitting teams in baseball in less than a year. Impressive.

Because all of those homeruns were winning us so many games, right?

You don't have to score 11 runs a game, if you can catch the ball.

true this team will look different offensively.However , people forget this team went into a major slump for the last month.with decent #'s during that stretch,our offense would have looked alot more respectable.You would have to think Dunn and EE if not traded will supply 200-230 rbi.Jr would supply 70-90.
This of cousre barring trades.
most teams have at least a big 3 in the heart of the order.(stl=pujols,rolen,edmonds) which we would have in the above mentioned.
i still would like to see another stick but overall, i like the signing.

I agree Matt, the Reds may not look as sexy on the field next year without all the monsterous homeruns, but defense and pitching wins ballgames. We still have a lot of areas to fix, but this is a great first step in my opinion
