If Lopez was traded for much needed pitching help, with Freel going to 2nd, and Phillips becoming the everyday SS, that would improve the Reds.
Now, Castro as the full time SS in another thing.

Fine, Pedro. Then it should have already happened. Period. This team has been weakened in the last week by keeping EE's bat in AAA. No question about that. They have diddled and dallied and waited and hoped that someone would get hurt and make their decision for them. And that is stupid. Stupid to put themselves in a position where you mothball one of your team's best players. And that is what they did by bringing in Castro. No, I don't think Castro will go when WK finally gets off the pot, but I do think his presence here has sentenced EE to AAA while everyone hopes something will happen.
This is NOT one of WK's finest moments since he took over. At. All.

It's dollar hotdog day at Miller Park.
I'm hungry...
Juan Castro has started 3 of the last 4 games. That should never, ever happen. And that was my main complaint when they reacquired him - a manager like Narron getting Castro on the roster means Narron finding new ways to start Castro. Thats a bad thing. Castro should start 3 games per 100, not 3 out of 4 - ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Oh, did I mention ever.

As pedro has already eloquently pointed out - that is not the argument that was put forth on the first page of this thread.Originally Posted by membengal
That is.... Castro being on the roster.
But no - Castro is not keeping EE in AAA. An immediate roster move will be made when EE returns shortly.
You guys keep changing your stories on this EE thing.... first it was RA that got the blunt of your wrath. Now it's Castro simply being on the roster.
Valiums for everyone! EE will be back and standing at 3B very soon.
Until then - we now return you to your regularly scheduled rant.
I'm on vacation at a resort, and gonna head back down to the Gitchigoome Grill and toss a few back in memorium to EE!

GAC, read my response above (#32). Period. Castro's presence has caused them to delay while they make up their mind. If someone else had to go to make room to get EE back, then it should have done, one frickin' week ago. This whole thing is criminally stupid on the organization's part.
Kearns has to be bummin' that Hatty is protecting him in the line up.

Phillips takes strike one and we are underway
Are you going to keep ignoring my greater point? Post #32. Try and respond to that without resorting to an icon, if you can.Shhhhhhhh!

He shouldn't start regularly.It's fine if he does sometimes. He should be a late inning defensive replacement, primarily...(and has done well his last 2 starts). I believe Krivsky said that from his own mouth.
Somebody said it yesterday....it may have been Cutler....Jerry wasn't an everyday player...he feels for them, and wants them to get playing time.
Post #32, please, Pedro and GAC. Have you a response to that?
Phillips bloops a leadoff single to right
Phillips gets picked off (officially caught stealing)
Well, that wasn't good.
