MLB Network reporting (scroller) it's a done deal...no word on return.
I wonder if Bob and Walt were looking out at GAB and wondering, like I was this week, what August attendance was going to look like with that team?

The Reds undoubtedly traded a major prospect in this deal. That's life, people.
I'm not a Bruce proponent at all, and yet I agree that he'll likely develop just fine. I just doubt that he'll ever establish the plate approach and presence necessary to get anywhere close to the Larry Walker comparisons. I still think we'll see a .275/.350/525+ exceptional defensive RF out of him in the relatively near future.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
Fox now says it's for EE and a minor leauger pending Rolen's approval.
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and 4,000 hits."
-Pete Rose
This is scary stuff for a team that I consider to be a long way from contending. Rolen is 34 and has missed a lot of games in the last few years due to injury. I hope the Reds aren't mortgaging too much of the future for him
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
