Thursday really needs to get here, so we have something else to talk about.

Let's talk about Dunn and Strikeouts...just like the good 'ol days.

It's a good read.....

One thing to keep in mind is that Lancaster, McCoy, Fay and almost all the regulars who cover the Reds are on vacation right now, so it's possible that something big could be brewing without much of it getting leaked in Reds country. Even Marty's taking time off.

If they want to dream perhaps they should try dreaming of something that actually has a chance to happen.

This doesn't.

Oh c'mon Reds4Life, be a sport. It's like buying a lottery ticket. You know you don't really have a chance, but you exchange your $1 for that pico-second of when you check the winning numbers and think "just maybe...".

[Red Leader]

i'm telling you what. I would be the last person, well maybe not the last, but one of the last people to tell you I'd be in favor of trading Adam Dunn and Edwin Encarnacion (much less in the same deal), but if those two would net us Ervin Santana and Miguel Cabrera, I think I'd do it.

Sorry, it's on the mod application, I have to be an evil killjoy at all times.

I think we all need to get lives

I have yet to hear any remotely valid reason why the Marlins would give up Dontrelle Willis for anything, anything at this point.

I agree, the Marlins are stacked in pitching, the last thing they need is more pitching. What the marlins need is a blue chip prospect at CF and C, and maybe not even catcher, they've got Miguel Olivo whos only 27, has a cannon for an arm, and is having a break out year at the plate, and lastly is realitvly cheap.
Willis and Miggy are the face of that franchise now, and if they expect to land a new stadium anywhere they'll need both. This year the marlins will most likely not be reaching the post season via the wild card, but next year they will be in the hunt, and for every year after.

'07 Marlins rotation
Willis
Olsen
Nolasco
Johnson
Sanchez

their bullpen is just as set, Tankersly is their future closer.

and all their posisiton players are settled aside from CF
1B - Mike Jacobs
2B - RuleV pick up Dan Uggla
3B - Miggy
SS - Hanley Ramierz
LF - Josh Willingham
CF - ???
RF - Jeremy Hermida
C - Miguel Olivo

i could see the marlins moving Borowski/Moheler/Herges/Mitre to the reds for Denorfia.

So some ESPN posters (literally 2) say they heard this on ESPN Radio 1000 Chicago today. Bailey's name was mentioned as well.

I can't imagine only 1 or 2 people heard of this after 2+ hours, so I officially need to move on for the day and get some work done before I hit the Flinstone clock.

Isn't that Chicago station famous for reporting trades that don't happen? I can't think of any specifics but I think that it's happened a few times before. But I could be very wrong.

I believe that's the station that all of the Griffey to ChiSox trade rumors came out of last year....

Maybe they'll do a Moehler for Noochie Varner redux.

Think about this lineup...

1. Freel CF-I still believe Jr is going to the White Sox
2. Phillips 2B
3. Tejeda SS
4. Dunn LF
5. Encarnacion 3B
6. Aurilia 1B
7. Denorfia RF
8. Ross C

1. Willis
2. Arroyo
3. Harang
4. Ramirez
5. White Sox pitcher for Griffey

I'll take my chances with this lineup.

That is 670 the Score in Chicago. Most of the time it was done by Mike North. Like the one time he said the Sox traded konerko to the Reds for Junior. He also made up some story about the Illini basketball team being sick on the day of the Final 4. Ovbiously both were false.

[REDSEER]

I normally read this board, but also the ESPN board.......yes, there are the occassional trolls that report stupid trades (such as this one), but they don't usually stay and defend themselves like this one has.....there seems to be something different about this poster....

Plus with the report of Buster Olney reporting the "big trade" it makes us all that much more excited. It's been so long since the Reds have been successful and we are all ready to see a winner on the field. At this point, I don't know what to think, because half of me believes that this trade could go through if we send Bailey to the Fish, but the other half of me thinks that there is no way that Baltimore does this trade......

It's going to be a fun night.......

This may sound stupid- but what exactly is the rumor(s)?

I know its probably about Kearns, but who are the teams interested in him?
