Because normally you don't play someone who is being traded as to not expose them to possible injury before the deal is completed.

Because there are only 5 OF's on the roster.

Jr., WMP, Dunn, Kearns, and Cruz.

Cruz in RF.

Dunn usually plays LF.

Jr. usually plays CF.

Kearns on the bench because he's traveling to the game.

Just a WAG, but Cleveland just got rid of Gerut and wants Randa. I'll guess Randa and Wily Mo for Sowers and a package of other prospects.

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

You make a valid point Wheel. I think the only thing clear at this juncture, is that it looks like one of the 3 starting outfielders are gone.

I'm not so sure. Remember in Marc's blog about "the talk" Narron had with Cruz in his office last night? I think Jacob may be the odd man out after tonight...

I am not getting my hopes up that anything will happen on the trade front that we would see as positive is going to happen. It is too much to hope that Aurilia will be traded.

Romano, Machado and Aurilia, gone within two days. I would think I must have died and gone to heaven.

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

I don't think anyone else has been moved, Kearns and Pena will just split time.

Woo.

Nothing personal, because I'm excited too....but this shows how far Reds baseball has fallen that we are this excited over today's moves.

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

What Krono said..where is Louisville? Austin may not be able to make in time to play and they could be giving Pena a night off.

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

I think this is better anticipation even then when Bowden pulled the trigger on getting Junior...why? Because Juniro was forcing the M's hand on the other end...it was just a matter of time.

I think this has to be BIG with some immediate impact players because if I am not mistaken we have 3 roster spots available on our 40 man right now...anyway, must be huge!

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

Nope none taken. But I'm not that excited about what's already happened. I'm excited to hear what "might" happen. If the trade includes Wily Mo, then it's a big deal for thhe Reds & I hope to see a high return. Of course if nothing happens, then yeah I've pretty much hit new lows for being easily excited.

Re: Austin Kearns Recalled.

Louisville is only a couple hours drive from Cincy...certainly no further...I can't see a reason why he wouldn't be here and able to play tonight...but wait!!!! Wasn't Louisville playing in Rochester, oh Rochester?
