You responded to a post by pedro that was responding to me.
As for the other thing, I'm not sure what you are talking about. We had a difference in opinion on Ondrusek in a gamethread. If that is me "coming at you", I'm sorry, but this just may be an example of the hyperbole I just mentioned. If I'm wrong please, post links to the few times I have come at you in the last week.
Chapman/Marshal/Broxton plus others = 1990 BP?
I like it. Add depth to the pen and allows Chapman to get some rest. The Reds bot Broxton for two minor league relievers. Remember Zack Cy Stewart, Carlos Fisher, Josh Roenicke, etc? Guys are a dime a dozen.
I was hoping Donnie Joseph would replace Bill Bray on the roster soon. I'm in the "overpaid" camp on this one.
That Goldstein quote was not even in the context of the Reds, it was just pure vacuum sealed puffery. He's an outsider free to say what he wants.
Ondrusek is shaky, Massett is probably not being counted on for pitching any meaningful innings this year, Simon has been a pleasant surprise but is certainly not someone I was ever counting on for late innings. He is an upgrade to Ondrusek, Simon, Bray, and Arredondo for a couple of prospects.
The head scratcher I see right now is Casey Megehee for Chad Qualls
