Harang is worth more than he appears. No, we can't trade him for Jeter or Heyward, but we can get a couple of pitching prospects for him. There are some teams out there that would be glad to have Harang on their team (when you're desparate, you'll take anybody).

Package Harang with Stubbs and I am sure we can come up with a nice Single A prospect and maybe a 37th round draft pick.

Starscream · 05-21-2010, 09:56 AM

I'll keep Stubbs for a while. I think he's got a lot of potential, but needs to work on hitting this year. I think he'll be similar to Bruce: if we wait long enough, he'll come around.

Chapman won't come up for a while. Hopefully he stays in Louisville all year.

The Reds have been notorious the past few years of bringing up their prospects way too early (ie: Bailey, Stubbs and Bruce)

Hopefully they learn and keep him in Louisville all year. My guess is when the Reds see how well Strasburg is pitching for the Nats that Chapman won't be too far behind

Reds win! Reds win!

Strasburg > Chapman

Oh yeah, I couldn't agree more right now.

Maybe this tightness in Homer's elbow will send him back to Single A for a nice long rehab stint while he works his way back to the majors. He couldn't throw a first pitch strike today.

Nice work by the irregular bullpen today, if they would have thrown the regulars in there I think that game could have gotten way too far out of hand.

Starscream · 05-24-2010, 05:46 AM

We should have taken all three of those games against Cleveland...
Cleveland and Pittsburgh are pretty much one in the same.

Starscream · 05-24-2010, 06:34 AM

We better win all week with our schedule. Bucs and Asstros.

Starscream · 05-25-2010, 06:31 AM

Tied for first!

elderboy02 · 05-25-2010, 06:36 AM

What do you all think of the talk about Roy Oswalt? Some baseball analyst said that Oswalt could be traded to Cincy.

I could see the value in it, but I fear what we would have to give up to get him. We aren't gonna just trade him for Harang.

Trade Harang and Bailey and Stubbs

But Stubbs has been on a roll as of late.

Yeah, his average is above .200 now. A Rookie of the Year candidate for sure.

No, but it takes a lot to raise it from .163 to plus .200 in two weeks at this point in the season.

Remember, you can't please a pessimist. Oops, sorry, you can't please a "realist"

Last I checked, we were tied for 1st place
