Gary Sheffield in RF in '07?? - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

swingman24 · 09-25-2006, 03:37 PM

with a crowded OF in New York the Yankees may be looking to dump one and Sheffield would be the one to go because he has a club option for '07 and Cashman will most likely not pick it up..

and with that said we need to get rid of the cancer in LF...

Orioles Get:
Adam Dunn

Reds Get:
Adam Loewen
cash

Rotation:
1. Jason Schmidt (via free agency)
2. Aaron Harang
3. Bronson Arroyo
4. Adam Loewen (via trade see above)
5. Kyle Lohse/Eric Milton/Homer Bailey/Elizardo Ramirez

Bullpen:
Kerry Wood CL (via free agency)
David Weathers
Todd Coffey
Bill Bray
Scott Shoeneweis
Gary Majewski
Matt Belisle/Jason Standridge

Lineup:
1. Luis Castillo 2B (via free agency)
2. Brandon Phillips SS
3. Ken Griffey Jr. CF
4. Gary Sheffield RF (via free agency)
5. Edwin Encarnacion 3B
6. Scott Hatteberg/Joey Votto 1B
7. Preston Wilson LF (via free agency)**
8. David Ross C
9. P
**Alfonso Soriano or Carlos Lee would be nice but not enough money

Bench:

Ryan Freel UTIL
Norris Hopper OF
Todd Hollandsworth OF
Juan Castro IF

if that happens up there ^^^ hello PLAYOFFS!

preston wilson? freel is a better option

swingman24 · 09-25-2006, 03:40 PM

not really freel cannot play everyday when he does he gets injured often and doesnt hit well... wilson gives us pop in the order and a pretty good glove

BRM · 09-25-2006, 03:41 PM

Dunn is a cancer now?

fewfirstchoice · 09-25-2006, 03:41 PM

Switch Castro for Aurilla and you got a decent lineup.Aurilla will not be back and Wayne signed Castro to a 2 year deal.But over all your lineup and pitching satff look solid.

Hyberpole at its finest, first class post.

swingman24 · 09-25-2006, 03:42 PM

yeah he is... he makes stupid comments in interviews, its obvious he doesnt give 100% everyday, he strikes out way too much, and his defense is well we all know about his defense.

blumj · 09-25-2006, 03:44 PM

Wait, Adam Dunn is a cancer, and Gary Sheffield is what?

He doesn't strike out as much so he's alright. Cancers are guys that strike out alot and play below-average defense.

Ohhh I thought it was a guy that admitted to tanking games and messing up on purpose in an effort to get traded. My fault

Apparently it's all cool as long you don't strike out alot.

vaticanplum · 09-25-2006, 03:50 PM

I don't like a lot of this but I will say that I would love to see Loewen pitching for the Reds. for the love of God, stay away from Kerry Wood, even in the bullpen.

What? Wow, this is a new low on the RedsZone. Frankly, IMO, I think Adam needs the offseason to get his head clear. It's been a season fraught with all sorts of things going on. I appreciate Sheffield's talent, but I don't believe he fits our needs (just my opinion). I'll still take Dunn anyday. Not a cancer at all.

swingman24 · 09-25-2006, 03:53 PM

what can it hurt to get wood as a closer.. no one else has worked.. with his stuff he would be unhittable and the amount of innings would give his arm a rest
