The Reds starting pitching has been better then expected - I think they could use a RP or someone who can hit for average (see Sean Casey).
I love the fact that we have made a couple of deals with them already. If they do decide to tear it down it will make it much eaier for us to get in on the action. My question to all of you is, if available would you grab Piazza to play first and platoon at catcher? This would open up a trade of Conine which if he keeps up his pace could land a prospect or two from a team in need of a bat. Just a thought.
Pass. Harden's health is way too unreliable to merit serious consideration.
umm... Rich Harden shouldn't start anymore. He should be a closer or something because of his arm problems. Travis Wood anyone?
Ummm, anyone who would be so shortsighted as to think the Reds pitching could hold up all year is foolish. Harden, if healthy is a top 5 starter in baseball. Obviously the key is his health.
My question is this: Would you trade Adam Dunn straight up for him?
I would have to consider it, but right now I'm leaning no. Travis Wood? I would send him and anyone not named Bailey, Bruce, Hamilton, or Dunn right now. (Obviously I wouldn't trade Harang or Arroyo either.) Anyone else would be fair game.
Go BLUE!!!
Point being -- it'd be nice to have a guy like Casey who typically hits over
.300 and drives in runs....
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and 4,000 hits."

Dunn's career numbers show he hits a lot of solo HRs - this year has been different and I hope it continues. When a guy hits 45 HRs and only has 90 RBIs -- you'd think he'd drive in more runs.
I sure wish he could cut down on the K's.
I could see the A's going after Tabata from the Yanks for him.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
The season is still young.
