Nope. Jay is a liar who hates Cincinnati and only loves money. He would have signed both offers if he truly loved the Reds.

He should have signed the extension, foregone the salary and played for per diem until he died.Quote:

It makes sense to trade Bruce. He's not getting any younger and will want pretty big money, and our strength as an organization, outside of maybe pitching depth, is in the outfield currently in the minors. Winker, Yorman, maybe Meso, and several others. Bruce has proven the knee is no longer an issue and that he's not as bad as he played last year. Several teams, such as the Angels, would kill for a lefty bat to slot in the middle of their lineup.
Are we still going to get weekly updates of Bruce my beloved Raisor when he's in another one of his 0-for-2-weeks slump? :thumbup:
There's not much depth when it comes to guys close to the majors. I am high on Winker and Rodriguez but neither is completely ready to step in right now and perform well. Kyle Waldrop is the only other guy in AA or higher who is particularly noteworthy and he just started in AAA (and is finding out it's pretty tough).Quote:

Only .798. I knew he couldn't make it.
If he REALLY LOVED the Reds, he'd take the money he made last year and buy us all season tickets (with unlimited beer, soft drinks and grub).Quote:

The better he hits, ironically, the more likely he's gone.Quote:

Where does he fit within the following list?

Bruce and Byrd are 5/6.Quote:
