Daugherty's tibits from Nashville....

What do the Reds want to be? What do they need to be?

He needs to stop putting Silva in the same sentence with Bedard and Haren.

It's unseemly.

I don't think that's what he's suggesting.....

Silva is an option....in most of our opinion's not the best option, but an option.

That's exactly what he's suggesting. He is equating Silva at least with Bedard. Madness. "A" Silva. Hey! We need "a" Silva like we need "a" hole in the head.

I could really use a new car... Like a BMW, a Saturn, or a Ferrari.

Re: Daugherty's tibits from Nashville....

My question is will Silva's price tag go down since nobody seems to be too quick to jump and get him for the big bucks it was suggested he get.

I still don't think he's suggesting Silva is a Dan Haren or an Erik Bedard....but based on what's out there, he would be considered a "big signing"

I was thinking of moving to a new city... like San Francisco, Scranton or Paris.

I don't know. I think some smaller or mid market team will sign him. Someone like PIT or the Nats who has a hole burning in their pockets from the money that everybody got from luxury taxes, revenue sharing, TV and merchandising.
