Typical Reds.
good for him
How is it that the town of Cincy has not 1 but two of the dumbest people running their two major pro sports teams...really is cincy cursed or is it in the water...
i dont get this. every1 is saying make a move but out of every1 out there every1 says don't get him. ect ect ect. so which is it?Originally Posted by brm7675
good decision, never give in, get players at our price
At this point it doesnt make sense to make a move unless it will help you in 2012 and beyond. No point mortgaging your future when its gonna be tough to make the playoffs either way.
It makes more sense to go after a free agent in the offseason and not give up any pieces then to trade for one now, and still have to pay them either way.
Exactly.
For those complaining, which player that has been dealt have you wanted the Reds to get?
Hunter Pence.
Coal in our red Xmas stockings.
Rodriguez still out there, though.
Adding Hunter Pence would have brought a lot to this team and cost them not one single player that would have had an impact on the major league roster over the next 2-3 years. You would have solved 2 glaring issues and bettered your team. I have no problem with not going after Jiminez as I have real health concerns with him or Bourne as he will be a real PITA come the end of his contract due to his agent.
Rodriquez is nice, I would offer then Bailey and same a mid level prospect for him.
Phillies gave up TWO top 50 prospects for him. The only Reds prospect in the top 50 is Mesoraco.
Homer Bailey > Wandy Rodriguez. Not just in regards to future value, he's a better pitcher.
2 much
