The wheels fell off of Rhodes in '11 and '12. We parted ways at the right time.
Rhodes is 43, didn't play in 2012, and pitched poorly in 2011.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

Jocketty is going Jeff Shaw for the win.
(And Shaw is going to pitch LH.)

Anyone think Pete Schourek would convert from a starter?

Off topic, but anyone remember when Brantley did color for TV from behind home plate for Homer's big league debut? I absolutely love Brantley as a color guy talking pitching, and I thought this was great. Let Thom/Chris do TV, Marty/Kelch/Flynn (who I also thought was great in limited action) do radio, and have Jeff as the "Up Close Color Analyst" for TV, kind of like Tony Siragusa does for the NFL on Fox.

Reds balked, Gonzalez to sign with Brewers.
Wow, I thought it was down to the Reds or Nats. Oh well, if this is suddenly the Brew Crew's idea of a big offseason move, good for them. Sure beats them doing things like trading for Zack Grienke.
Anyone else feel like the Brewers had their 3-5 year window and said window is now closed?
