You do realize you are wrong more in one day than Raisor has been in his life, right?

This is my stance as well.

I'm not crazy about Joseph leaving, but I think Broxton is an upgrade. And call me crazy, but people have been extremely agitated over the number of high-leverage innings given to Ondrusek. Well, I can't fathom people wouldn't rather have Broxton being given those innings.

Problem solved.

The other is likely Donnie Joseph, a 2-year-old left-hander, who was a combined 8-3 with a 1.72 at Double-A and 68 Ks, 17 BBs in 52.1 innings at Triple-A Louisville.
This has to violate some kind of child labor law.

Let's just hope Donnie Joseph doesn't become this decade's BJ Ryan

Not that I've ever seen that happen...

The Reds weren't even sure Stewart would cut it as a starter. Just because you thought he would be a future Cy Young candidate doesn't mean the Reds shared your optimism. It could just be that the Reds weren't as high on him, and if that's the case, he's done nothing to really make that seem silly. At what point do you concede that Stewart has not lived up to your expectations, and maybe the Reds didn't overpay because your expectations were way too high?
No. I don't think anything that Stewart has done since then has anything to do with the trade.

I was wrong about what Stewart would be. A lot of people were. Our own scouts/his managers/his coaches too.

Doesn't matter. Scott Rolen was demanding a trade to a midwest team and the Blue Jays said they would make it happen. The Reds were the only team at the time who even had room for a third baseman. We were literally the only suitors for him.

Ten BJ Ryans wouldn't have cured the Reds' futility during the 2000s, but one Juan Guzman almost got them to the playoffs.

Stewart might eventually make something out of himself, but it's not looking good now

You've never said what a "Fair price" for Rolen would've been..
Anyone who thought EE would sign a contract for close to $30M after that trade can call scoreboard IMHO.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
I think that resting Chapman in the short-term is probably an enormous factor in this deal -- maybe the biggest factor. I am ok with that. That is the kind of thing the club is probably keeping a close eye on, the details of which we're not necessarily aware of.

What happens if he is? If you run a good minor league organizatoin you should be able to produce minor league arms year in year out.
