Re: Reds Trade For Conine
Lance is saying Brad Key (I think) and Javon Moran as the minor leaguers.

Conine's a decent spare part to have on the bench; he can play 1B, 3B or OF. He's not any better against LH pitching (than against RH). I hope he's not going to be the 1B against LH'ers, but I think he is. All in all, a lesser player than Aurila has been the last 2 years, if he's the "Aurilia replacement." |

Re: Reds Trade For Conine
A guy who hits for a decent average, doesn't strike out much and is so old that he was once Bob Boone's teammate.
Color me not shocked.

Re: Reds Trade For Conine
Well, I came to Redszone today looking to see if Krivsky was going to make a move, and for all of them for him to make... I really am dissappointed. He didn't trade much away, but I would have liked for him to do something different. We ought to have enough veterans next year, I don't think that's necessarily a good thing, though.

Re: Reds Trade For Conine
The amount of money that will be spent on Weathers, Conine, Lohse, Cormier, Stanton and Gonzalez is amazing.
Throw in Griffey and Milton and it's embarassing. |

Re: Reds Trade For Conine

Re: Reds Trade For Conine
Let's raise a toast to Mr. Conine, the newest -- AND oldest -- member of the Cincinnati Reds.

Re: Reds Trade For Conine
It's pretty hard to put a happy face on this one.
Not that key and Moran figured to ever see time on the 25 roster. It's just hard to see how using a roster spot on Jeff Conine is a good idea. Something will have to open up a spot on the 40 man roster, so that may be more talent pissed away. I guess he's not going to be good enough that they'll be tempted to give him a full time corner outfield job, so that makes it more likely that they'll move junior. I guess they can say he's an allstar that won a couple of world series. I guess he'll be "happy" in the role he's given and won't create a stink. Tough to paint this one as a positive. |
