"According to the Providence Journal, the Red Sox may be willing to move Wily Mo Pena in exchange for a pitcher. The Cubs and Nationals have contacted Boston about the outfielder. "

seems Bowden is trying to make the Nationals the ex Reds!!

no thanks.

If we could get him back I would take him. But, the guys they would want (i.e. Harang or Arroyo) are completely out of the question.

The reality is that the Reds NEED a right handed bat in the lineup. I think that could be EE, but Narron doesn't like to think so...

Now that we're down to an outfield that consists of a guy that should be playing first base, an unproven rookie and an ageing center fielder, I'm interested. How about either Milton or Claussen? :)

If it didn't cost us much I would love to have Pena back. I'm afraid however that it would cost us to much.

Sox would take either of those two for him, I'd say.

Livan would get lit up in Fenway.

Better or worse than the David Wells option???

One would think it couldn't be any worse.

That's the Reds mentality--anything's better than what we currently have.

Difference is, the Sox have the financial ability to chase after pretty much anyone. "Does not get lit up as much as David Wells" isn't exactly something I'd place on the top line of my resume.

I think Livan needs pressure to excel, he might just go be lights out in Fenway.

I agree and wouldnt have aproblem moving either one of those guys for him.

I am willing to bet he is playing CF for the Nats come Aug 1.

Wells pitched very well last season in Fenway Park. He was 8-1 with an ERA of 3.07 at home.

He just finished a simulated 42 pitch game and will pitch another before a rehab start. There is confidence he will give the Sox at least ten starts down the stretch.

If Wakefield stays healthy, I doubt the Sox trade WMP. First, with Schilling, Beckett, Lester, Wakefield, Wells, there won't be a need. Second, the team's offense has struggled this month hitting just .252 and sinking with today's game a low scoring affair so far. Wily Mo is being counted on to add a lift. Also, they are not likely to get a difference maker type starting pitcher for an outfielder who still hasn't proven he can stay healthy or hit a curveball.

Wait! I forgot we had been discussing Bowden offering Hernandez or Armas. I doubt the Sox would bite on either. Certainly not for anything close to their major league roster.

If Arroyo doesn't revert back to his career norms they did. If he's back to the career 4.5 ERA, long relief/#5 starter type then I for one think the jury's still out on that trade. Obviously if he turned into Cy Young on the plane ride from Boston then this was a slam dunk for Kriv.

Gary Majewski, Bill Bray, Royce Clayton, Brendan Harris and Daryl Thompson

for

Wily Mo Pena, Mark Loretta and Mike Timlin

This would be the best way for Wayne to just say "do over". ;)

You didn't know? That's just the standard AL-NL conversion rate these days. ;)

We could trade them Milton for Pena. We could throw in Mays and or Yan.

So then we would be giving up Milton for Pena and Arroyo. I like.
