Doubtful that the option vests...but how scary would it be if he's on the team next year, the team is hanging around for a bit and he keeps his ERA in the 4s? He could theoretically become the LOOGY, which could enable him to rack up the games.
I'll stop now...I'm scaring myself.
Call ups
Coffey, Saarloos, Salmon, Votto, Coats, Hannigan
Down by 6 runs Weathers is pitching the 9th inning.
Weathers gives up a home run.
Carlos Delgado takes David Weathers deep to make it a 10-3 game.
I'm actually liking the last four games in that they serve as a stark reminder that the Reds really aren't that close to being a contender. If you want to see a contender in action, watch the guys in the visitor's dugout. Hopefully a little more of this and the Reds will have the courage to stand up and admit the team isn't very good and it's time to do something about that.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Hannigan not on the 40 man...... KeyMastur DFA'd?

Phillips grounds into a double play to end the game.
hearing on the radio, as i drove to take my son home that ELLISON pinch hitting for your #1 starter instead of Cantu, Keppenger or Hopper REALY botherd me.. made me think either Mack lost his mind or he was ordered to do this from Wayne in his suite upstairs.. how can a guy wanting a managing job even think of letting Ellison pinch hit???
Probably your manager until 2009. Wayne likes 2-year contracts (see Narron, Jerry).
I like Pete, but Alan Cutler brought up something tonight after the game that had me thinking a little bit. Krivsky is a control freak. Pete supposedly said he'd ask Krivsky what to do with the new arrivals. Speaks volumes, folks. The chances of us hiring a manager who can think on his own is nil. Pete's your man.
