Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
Assuming no other moves, who from the pen goes?

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
3.5 walks per 9 innings.
6.3 strikeouts per 9 innings. That is not what a good reliever looks like.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
Are you guys trying to create the most dominant bullpen in the last 20 years? This is overkill, lol. Great move on the Reds part.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
He's not worth a top prospect like Gregorius lt alone Hamilton. He's worth Ondrusek. It all depends on what we gave up. Who around here pegged a RH reliever as a top need?

June/July he has 7 walks/13 strikeouts in 16 innings. I guess it is up, but it still isn't good. And his WHIP in June/July is 1.56. That isn't a guy you should be going after to try and improve your bullpen.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
Reds gave up Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez for the right handed reliever.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
It would be nice if the price was Redmond, who was pulled back from his start in Louisville today. Likely to be a bit more, though.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
This just feels like a move that leads into another move. But time is winding down. I just don't get it.
