Exactly. I'm so mixed right now.

With the JHj deal, the dream left side of the field is gone.

*sigh*

We need to find out what we gave up.

nate · 07-31-2009, 03:42 PM

I think I like it.

I hear ya, but it's just for next year. So it's not a serious commitment, and well, the young pitching are going to need all the defensive help they can get.

I like Rolen a lot, but I don't think we're going to win this year regardless with him. Hopefully we didn't pay too high a price.

I agree. With Rolen, what use do the Reds have for EdE's salary or roster spot?

flyer85 · 07-31-2009, 03:43 PM

He'll probably throw his back out hauling his luggage and never suit up.

If Rolen is headed here, there's no place for EdE anyway in the long-term, so he might as well be the principle in the deal. Rolen's still a professional at 3B, but it smacks of the fact that Walt is such a backward looking GM, with precious little innovation. Now let's see the return.

Maybe the player from the Yankees tipped the scales. Wait and see for me as well....

Cyclone792 · 07-31-2009, 03:43 PM

Need to know the return ... and this darn well better be only one of a series of significant moves between now and Opening Day 2010, otherwise it's a wasted move.

reds44 · 07-31-2009, 03:43 PM

Reynolds made it sound like EE wasn't part of the deal.

thatcoolguy_22 · 07-31-2009, 03:43 PM

either a dramatic overpay or uhhh... I have no faith in WJ

Ltlabner · 07-31-2009, 03:43 PM

With the Reds injury history this year, over under on when his back explodes?
