He had that bad summer when he was 9 and missed time with chicken pox , then got repeated cases of poison ivy , which affected his concentration in the field and at bat.

I'm assuming he's used up all his options. Great, that's just what we need, another Wily Mo.

Then around 13 he hit that stage where he was always upset with the organization and repeatedly demanded trades and told his coaches he hated them and wanted to leave.

I guess they are trying the other end of the age spectrum now.

Re: Reds signed a 1 year old?

So, we still have one of Bob Howsam's signings still in the organization? Cool. Glad they are not rushing him, though - I hear his fastball was topping 60 in 1996.
