Re: Randa

I take it this ends the Kearns to 3B experiment.

Re: Randa

Now Kearns and WMP can fight it out for CF......with plenty of playing time for both...if/when? Griffey gets injured.

Dude, you are going to have to change your name to "Scoop." Much obliged for the early heads up on deals here lately.

Re: Randa

Horrible signing, at any cost (though now Krusty's head will be even bigger)

There's no reason to bring Randa in as long as Freel is on the roster.

Re: Randa

Yet another mid-30 something added to the team. Didn't see those coming.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Kearns moving back to RF. Does this make Pena the 4th OF? I really doubt Griffey will be on the bench if he's healthy.

But if you have someone ready to overpay in a deal including Freel...at least that would be my next move. Although Freel coming off the bench as the fifth outfielder, backup infielder isn't bad.

Well one thing is for sure the Reds coaches HATE Freel at third, he tends to look at the ball before he throws it and that drives them crazy.

Code:
GAMES                            G        A        E       DP       PCT    
1    Juan Castro                  78       75        5        6     .958   
2    Ryan Freel                   56      107       12       11     .925   
3    Brandon Larson               35       50        5        3     .937   
4    Tim Hummel                   32       47        4        5     .941

Re: Randa

A little man love goes a long way.

Anyways, Randa adds depth to this club. I wouldn't give up on the Kearns experiment but you have to wonder with this signing, if Kearns might be going in a deal for a starting pitcher?

Re: Randa

To be honest, I kinda expect this signing to result in a deal of Kearns to LA. Don't know anything, haven't heard anything...but the timing of this deal is somewhat ominous considering everything I've heard out of LA concerning the "mega-deal." DePodesta is looking to flip Vasquez for a young cheap bat and something tells me the Reds might very well be his dancing partner.
