Brandon McCarthy

I wouldn't mind seeing the Reds try and swing a deal for him. He's always been at least an average starter, maybe a move to the NL and new scenery could help.

Re: Brandon McCarthy
A change of scenery could help him, but he's a fly ball pitcher that doesn't miss bats. GABP would be a very bad fit.

Re: Brandon McCarthy
As a Reds fan it is nice to finally say, "The guys we have are better than him, all of them."

Re: Brandon McCarthy
As big as a fan as I am of Brandon McCarthy, the Reds have better, younger arms right now.

Re: Brandon McCarthy
Yeah, for once, we don't need starting pitching.
Wait, did I just write that? Hold on, I can't be serious. Someone has stolen my brain. |

Re: Brandon McCarthy
How about we stop picking up other teams' garbage for a change? I know it seems like forever, but we actually have some pitching depth this season. Let's run with that before we try to find the next Pete Schourek.
