Re: Rockies release Danny Graves
That's a shame.
But, I would be surprised if no other team picked him up - there seems to be a market for dead-armed relievers. My money is on him going to KC, Tampa Bay or Washington. |

Re: Rockies release Danny Graves
Well, you know...the Reds don't have a current REAL closer...

Re: Rockies release Danny Graves
No Ks and 7 walks in four innings? Sounds as if he is in mid-season form.

Re: Rockies release Danny Graves
This is kind of a shocker...Coors field seemed like it would be a good fit for him....

Re: Rockies release Danny Graves
Danny Graves was successful in 15 of his last 17 save attempts as a REDS player before he was DFA'd on May 22, 2005. Weathers took over after Graves got DFA'd and was 15 of 19 in 2005.
In 2006 as a team the REDS had 34 saves and 21 blown saves. Weathers was 12 of 18. Guardardo was 8 of 10. Coffey was 7 of 11. In closing... since Graves had 41 saves in 2004 the REDS have needed a real closer. I know, I know... tell ya something you don't know.

He has closed in the past. That seems to be an important qualification a far as the Reds are concerned.
