    JR is producing now for his what he is making, Casey is not.

    Kearns and Pena would bring us little and provide little salary relief

    Wily Mo spoke up about not playing now....wishes he or Kearns would have been traded.

    This was bound to happen

    7 HR's and an OPS less than .800. Not bad for a SS, but a first baseman? Listen, if the Reds didn't have 4 OF's, three of them with enormous potential and one an all-century plyer, I'd stay away from the trade Casey thoughts, but to cost as much as he does with a SS's production, I say trade him the first sign of an offer. Today if possible. Tomorrow for sure. And over the winter, you betcha.

    Harang's strikeout didn't change his batting average. I guess when it's so low, there's not much room to go lower. BA before the AB: .0204 (1 for 49), BA after the AB: an even .020 (1 for 50).

    Also have to think salary relief, Casey going would bring it.

    Wow, didn't realize Casey was on such a tear of late. Looks like his "good half" season is coming in the 2nd half this year. (Traditionally, he's usually had one good half and one bad half).

    I agree Doog, if he can raise his stats in the last part of the season, he might be movable this offseason.

    His OPS is above .800 - and why do we need more HR players when we have the most HR's in the league? I like Casey for his average and solid hitting.
