Freel arrested again...Drunk in Tampa

[George Foster]

700 WLW-7am
Ryan Freel was arrested again in Tampa over the weekend for drunk and disorderly behavior. When ask if he had a job, he said he was unemployed.

....he might be unemployed if he keeps drinking, he obviously has a problem.

Sad. I keep losing respect for the guy.

If the REDS organization truly wants
to make a statement of turning things
around. Ryan Freel should be traded
for a minor league pitcher by the end
of the week. You'd think between
Womack and Aurilla they should be
able to match Freel's injured #'s.
Bergolla is getting pretty close making
him expendable sooner rather than
later.

Bergolla's not making anyone expendable except for maybe Tony Womack.

Based on what logic?

Plus the Reds just inked him to a 2 year contract.

If they really want to help him then do just that... help him.

Don't discard him because he has a problem... that speaks volumns too.

The may be able to cut him without paying his salary if there is a code of conduct clause. Considering he had a DUI from April '05, I would assume that such a clause is in his contract.

Cutting him is the wrong thing to do. Like WOY said, if the Reds want to make a statement they need to address the problem and fix it. They have invested time and money into him as a ballplayer, and he's a good one who plays for our beloved Reds. In no way am I saying that I agree with what he has done, it IS wrong in a lot of ways. Fix the problem, move on.

Sometimes ditching him could be the help he needs.

Didn't work out that way for Ed Delahanty.

What sort of millionaire hangs out in a "pool hall?"

Someone must've snookered him.

Exactly. I sure wouldn't want someone kicking me out the door for this. I'd want someone to intervene and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Look for Julio Lugo to be in Boston by the weekend.

That was my first thought as well. Agree with the earlier post that Freel certainly has a problem that must be dealt with. Hopefully he takes the necessary steps to quell his drinking problem.

I thought he was married? My wife would have a cow if I stayed out that late.

Drunk?

No, he'll be playing SS and occasionally have a domestic dispute.

No you wouldn't. In reality when someone is wrapped this far into themselves or insulating themselves from whatever troubles or just being careless you don't want anyone bothering, nagging or getting in the way of your "good time".

Like I have said before about people with drinking, drug or pretty much any sort of abuse problem, The help they need will only work when they see they need it.
