I want to see this rotation:
Harang
Arroyo
Volquez
Belisle
Affeldt
I want to see Bailey and Cueto take Belisle and Affeldt out of the rotation around June or July.

-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008
Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
I fail to see how signing Corey Patterson equates into us really sucking this year.
Because he will be the starting CF-er come opening day.
Mark My Words.
It also means that Jay F. Bruce will not be making the trip north, and will start in AAA, probably until September, unless Griffey hits the extended DL before then.
You thought people hated Dusty's lineups before, wait until he fills one out with Patterson's name on it. :runawaycr
Unless a trade is forthcoming, we are not adding quality, only quantity. Fodder, Fodder, and more Fodder.
Oh Brudder!!

Uh-Huh. I never did place you as somone with any Have you been following the Reds much? Did you see who we signed for a manager?
If Corey Patterson isn't on the opening day 25 man roster for the Reds - barring catastrophic injury to said Corey Patterson - I will place a quote of your choice under my name for the entire season - if YOU agree to allow me the same to you if he is. Agreed?

Im not denying that guys in camp cant make the roster. For all anyone knows Chris Dickerson is going to be on the major league roster
Backpedal much?
That is the result of this signing. Jay Bruce in AAA. Corey Patterson on the Reds, playing Center Field, and leading off WAY WAY WAY too many times for a team that is ALLEGEDLY contending.
That is my contention. That is why we will suck. This decision has been made. Everything else is just window dressing.
Corey Patterson will have to break his leg not to be the opening day CF-er against Brandon Webb. Freel/Hopper will start against Left Handers.
SUCK!

Starter or bullpen?
I just want the 5 best starters in the rotation. If Affeldt is one of them, then so be it.
I also hope Roenicke proves himself and makes the starting roster in the bullpen.
Best 5 in terms of talent?
Harang
Arroyo
Cueto
Bailey
Volquez
What will the rotation be?
Harang
Arroyo
Belisle
Fogg
Affeldt
HAl McCoy was on xm baseball beat this am, said rotation will be:
Harang
Arroyo
Fogg
Belisle
Affeldt
Also said Bailey was a head case, stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone, which is why he'll start in AAA. Unless he gets his act together in which case he could make the team.
Also, said Reds lack pitching and defense to contend. Will compete for 3rd, but should be able to finish 500 or above.
Fogg as our 3 shoot me now
