It's gonna be a tough decision. I'm for keeping him, but at his soon to be new price, it's gonna hurt us in a lot of other needed areas.

^ Very cool!

I thank that was in today's Cincinnati Enquirer?

Starscream · 12-19-2010, 05:44 AM

Cool pics, Hugh! The snow pic looks like the one taken last year.

Old news again, but Bruce signed to a multi-year deal. Hoping Votto follows suit before he becomes a Free Agent.

I am not sure why they focused on a less than stellar Jay Bruce, why not offer the reigning MVP.

Another free agent that the Reds could have really used ends up somewhere else. Greinke to the Brewers. It looks like they could have offered Stubbs in that trade and gotten a much better prospect with him. Pony up some cash or players and make the team better.

I think it was smarter than paying Votto at this time. Let's try to lock him down after next year. Hopefully he'll keep up his performance, but we may take him for less next year, unless he wins MVP again.

Seeing the full trade for Greinke and Bettancourt today, it looks like the Reds could have gotten him for Stubbs (who strikes out more than anyone) and a couple decent pitching prospects (whom the Reds can't groom anyways). A Cy Young pitcher and a good middle infielder for an over rated OF and some pitching projects sounds like a good trade to me.

it does look like the front office missed out on that one big time.

Rhodes is Texas bound...

He won't have another season like he did this past year, so maybe that's good news. Clears up some cash.

hotreds · 12-26-2010, 04:22 PM

Let's see what happens with that extra moolah!

With our track record, they'll probably bring in some has been on the downside of his career or some no name who never was.

hotreds · 12-26-2010, 06:33 PM

Like Scott Podsednik. We certainly need another light hitting outfielder! NOT!

Looks like Edgar Renteria is gonna be our everyday shortstop rather than Janish. A deal for around $3 million has been made (not sure if it's official yet). Jocketty promises that Janish will be the starter, with Renteria playing backup, but with Dusty's track record, my bet is Janish loses his spot in Spring Training until Renteria gets hurt (b/c he's more than injury prone).

Starscream · 01-10-2011, 04:41 PM

Oh yeah, and it looks like Chapman's gonna be in the pen this year.

elderboy02 · 01-10-2011, 09:13 PM

I would love to see Janish play everyday. Sadly, I agree with you though Andy, and I think Dusty will play Edgar.

I guess I was right. Renteria is a has been in my book. He still has a slight bit of potential, but to be honest, I'd take Cabrerra over Renteria at SS anyday. Sucks to be Janish right about now.

BTW, Larkin got snubbed again for the HOF vote, but I hear he looks good for next year.

Yeah, hopefully he gets in next year. He definitely deserves it.
