First I saw the Reds signed Crosby, then I sat Still, now I Nash my teeth.
A no power, no speed OF.

Re: Reds ink Bubba Crosby to a 1 year deal
I dont think bubbas to bad of an option off the bench. If he ever becomes our full time starter we really suck.

Whew! Glad to see the Reds aren't being overshadowed by that silly little trade between New York and Detroit!

Re: Reds ink Bubba Crosby to a 1 year deal
What the heck? Why in God's name do you sign a 30 year old OF with a career .555 OPS to a major league deal? I like Krivsky's activity, but geez does he scare the crap out of me.
His career SLG% is 2 points higher than Neifi Perez' career OBP. Read that sentence again. And again. Freaking waste of a 25 man roster spot.

Re: Reds ink Bubba Crosby to a 1 year deal
Wayne isn't happy just wasting one roster spot with a worthless player in Juan Castro. He's instead shooting for the high goal of wasting two roster spots with worthless players now that he's added Crosby to the mix.
I would say that this bench next year may be the worst I've ever seen, but that would be a luxury at this point. Knowing our luck, on Opening Day Wayne and Jerry will have Castro starting at shortstop and Crosby starting in right field.

Re: Reds ink Bubba Crosby to a 1 year deal
Let's all settle down a bit....free agency doesn't technically start until Monday (I think)....it's not like this is the "big move" of a Carl Lindner offseason.
Just because they signed Bubba Crosby doesn't mean he'll make the team out of spring training. I would be surprised if, at most, he's a back end roster guy at best on the major league club. Let's not get all worked up over nothing at this point.
