Now that it's official.. I thought it deserved a fresh thread

RedLegSuperStar · 12-19-2010, 10:04 AM

Royals get: Odorizzi, Cain, Escobar and Jeffress
Brewers Get: Greinke, Betencourt, and 2Mil

I think the Reds could have topped that. I'm not extremely upset, but I don't like the thought of going with the same guys as last season and expecting to win.

I don't like the idea of facing Greinke multiple times per season. Oh well, life goes on.

Brewers certainly needed him more than just about anybody us. Not a cheap price.

Two interesting nuggets from www.mlbtraderumors.com:

Quote:

Peter Gammons of the MLB Network indicates (via Twitter) that a player to be named later, rather than Jeffress, is heading to Kansas City. Escobar, Cain, and Odorizzi are still involved in the deal.

Heyman adds (via Twitter) that the Royals were close to an agreement with Washington, but Greinke told the team he wouldn't accept a deal to the Nationals, who were on his no-trade list.

From a glass half-full point of view, glad to see Cain out of the division. He impressed me last season when the Reds played the Brewers.

I agree. I am also glad to see Escobar go, he could blossom into a top tier shortstop.

This is disappointing.

redsmetz · 12-19-2010, 11:18 AM

It doesn't surprise me that Washington was in on the Greinke talks. They're working overtime to improve that club.

forfreelin04 · 12-19-2010, 11:26 AM

Is anyone else mildly scared that the Reds in 2011 will mildly turn into the Bengals of 2010?

Two totally different run organizations, but the Bengals were more then a bit secure in that they could repeat the same success of 2009 with the same players.

The team may be two injuries away from a very mediocre year. But.... I also know that we Reds fans are scarred due to so many losing seasons so it may be just fear instead of reality.

kpresidente · 12-19-2010, 11:32 AM

^ Yeah, but we're so young and the rotation is so deep. Injuries are always there, and a lot went right last year. Rolen and the catchers may not reapeat, but there's a lot of room for improvement, too. What if Volquez and Bailey put it all together, and Bruce breaks out? That's not all wishful thinking, you expect those guys to get better.

No, because Baseball is different animal, scheduled different, wrapped in a completely different development scale, not a slave to process and dissemination of that process.

Apples and rolling pins.

Did Grienke approve the trade?

Not a cheap price. __________________ Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
