April 22, 201313 yr Going to GABP tonight for my first game of the year; had tickets for this past Saturday but let a co-worker use them. I hope Leake has a good outing this evening.
April 22, 201313 yr The only thing that makes me think it could be possible to sign Choo is Arroyo is coming off the books. I don't see the Reds bringing him back. That frees up about $7M. Do they control Bailey for one more year? If not, they will need that money to sign him and I always sign pitching before hitting. Then you have to have money for Cueto and Latos the next year. It would be really tough for the Reds. The biggest thing that would help make it possible is hitting 2.75M+ in attendance. Most of that money is spoken for... Bruce, Votto, BP... Scott Boras is his agent as well. Edited April 22, 201313 yr by HammerTime
April 22, 201313 yr Most of that money is spoken for... Bruce, Votto, BP... Scott Boras is his agent as well. Right... All of their contracts are back loaded.... And it's true that I woudl rather have them sign back their pitching. Bailey is on a one year deal and Latos two. Someone mentioned Cueto in the last thread but I thought we just signed him for a 5 year deal or so? Regardless, Bailey and Latos would be higher priority than Choo. Good pitching>Good hitting. I was going to say if we make a big run/take the whole thing Choo might give us a discount, but then I remembered Boras.... Probably will wind up in New York...

Cueto is only signed through next year. 2015 has a club option at 10M which they will obviously pick up unless he's hurt for the next 2 years.
April 22, 201313 yr Cueto is only signed through next year. 2015 has a club option at 10M which they will obviously pick up unless he's hurt for the next 2 years. Put him at the top of the list for pitching priorities also then.
April 22, 201313 yr What if you sign Choo to that contract, wait till Hamilton is close, then deal him to another team? He'd be a great trade asset if you could sign him up to that long term contract. It would also probably help restock the farm system as well.
April 22, 201313 yr You Reds fans ready to go down? That's a little forward of you to be honest. I haven't known you that long.
April 22, 201313 yr That's a little forward of you to be honest. I haven't known you that long. Just giving you all a hard time
April 22, 201313 yr Just because I enjoy sharing some stories and different things about being a beer vendor, I thought I'd let you all know that in only my 8th game, I sold the most peanuts out of everyone yesterday. Probably not that big of a deal, but I'm happy about it. Selling some Reds Rum Punch tonight with that ghostbuster looking contraption. To answer your question from the Marlins thread, ESPNdeux, it is premade. It's in a cooler that is strapped to the vendors back. Has a hose with a nozzle on it to pour the drink to the fan in the seat. I don't have any experience with it, so we will see how it goes. Go Reds!
April 22, 201313 yr That's a little forward of you to be honest. I haven't known you that long. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

April 22, 201313 yr So do you get paid based on your sales? More important question, do you get to drink the left overs?
