Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton

[Captain Hook]

I like it. Load up on guys that have been there. Plus, if a starter goes down it leaves an option for Chapman to the rotation.

Yeah it give the Reds more pitching dept and adds another closer option.I like games being over when the Reds lead after 7.

[mdccclxix]

No it doesn't. Chapman is not starting this year for the Reds. They could lose 3 starters and it wouldn't happen.

I believe it does.

[reds44]

I believe it does.

No it doesn't. Doug is right on, and I don't even hate the trade.

[crazybob60]

He may be first out of the dugout, but he'll still be the last one there.

unless there is a hamburger on the field. Ok, I will stop with these jokes, I just couldn't help myself.

We may see Dusty get a shorter leash as well, which should help.

And I still stand by the fact that we overpaid. We were literally the only team who wanted Rolen and that he would accept a trade to. And we gave up our #1 pitching prospect, plus a Major Leaguer and a minor league reliever who had some value.

The fact that you still won't admit you were wrong says more about you than it does about the trade, IMO.

I think we'll all be glad if we don't have to find out.

It's not hyperbole and if you have a problem with me, you should take it private. You've been coming at me quite a few times since last week. Clearly you're still upset.

So if you have a problem, you know where the PM function is located.

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?

[bucksfan2]

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.

[NC Reds]

I was hoping Donnie Joseph would replace Bill Bray on the roster soon. I'm in the "overpaid" camp on this one.

[mdccclxix]

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.

[traderumor]

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

Sometimes people look at things they've said and done and say "wow, maybe I wasn't right about that". It is technically possible.

Just sayin'

Sure. I just don't think I was incorrect here.

And yes, I have been wrong before, in case anyone was going to ask.

I'm not getting into it on here. I've said what I've said and stated my position. Your posts have been acknowledged by others to come across as doing what you're accusing me and others of. Just consider that.
