Re: Down Goes Andy Green
I think I can speak for everyone when I say he won't be missed.

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
Well we saw pretty much our starting line-up today.. They may decide to go with Valentin to start the season and ease Ross back in but with Ross playing a back to back games and a night game then a day game would tell me they are likely not to DL him. I think they will work out a trade for Capellen and send him to Louisville. That would clear room for both Cueto and Patterson on the roster.

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
For the record, I really doubt Capellan, if acquired, would go to Louisville. I don't think he'd even go to Chattanooga.

His numbers look good and I think he is at least worth hanging on to.

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
I love the fact the Reds are at 34 players still in camp and Opening Day is less then 4 days away. I know Dusty likes to get the starters some rest as Junior is done until the opener but to still have the roster in the mid 30's is nuts. I thought for sure today was going to be a big cut day and let some the bench and who remained battle it out. We all know what the Opening Day roster will be so why delay it?

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
Maybe Dusty is waiting for the same thing we've all been wishing for: A soft, easy pop up to Castro, who is suddenly attacked by a stray Bengal Tiger.
That would solve at least one problem. And, if said tiger went into the bullpen for a while, perhaps a couple of more. |

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
I don't understand what they are waiting on. Seriously, is it that hard to decide whether Jim Brower and his 9.00+ spring ERA should make the team or not? The guy is a bad pitcher and his spring numbers prove that. Why is he still in camp? Same could be said for Cabrera and Hairston.

Re: Down Goes Andy Green
a) You cannot speak for all of us.
b) a .469 OBP performance w 2 HRs and 7 doubles this Spring could make some say he could be missed. Wouldn't call him dead weight. c) he's a local guy and there could be many who were pulling for him--that's a reason some could miss him...
