Re: Reds sign Gary Matthews Jr. to minor-league deal
If he takes AB's away from Heisey or Stubbs, this is a god awful move. If he's just there as insurance, it might not be so bad.

I saw this coming the day he was dealt east.
Vince Coleman was a Red for 4 minutes once, we survived. |

Re: Reds sign Gary Matthews Jr. to minor-league deal
Can he be any worse than Nix?
Maybe he'll find HGH again...

Re: Reds sign Gary Matthews Jr. to minor-league deal
If Matthews Jr. plays one game with the Reds it will be one too many. He's an awful defender in CF now and he can't hit.

Re: Reds sign Gary Matthews Jr. to minor-league deal
I don't really see any point to this move. I wouldn't play him over any OF they already have.

This was incredibly predictable.

Re: Reds sign Gary Matthews Jr. to minor-league deal
I wonder if this is simply some insurance if/when Heisey gets dealt. the Reds have two young centerfielders & lots of problems elsewhere. dealing one makes sense. maybe Walt simply wants someone else who can play CF in case he trades Heisey then Stubbs goes down.
