August 12, 201313 yr Basically got him for Yonder Alonso at this point... Anyone seen any signs of Grandal? Boxberger? Volquez has been exactly what we thought he was, a back end of the rotation pitcher. At best... Boxberger has been okay thus far. 81 K's in 53 innings in AAA with 3.40 ERA
August 12, 201313 yr Boxberger has been okay thus far. 81 K's in 53 innings in AAA with 3.40 ERA Given the shape of the Reds pen he was easily expendable. Reds bullpen is rock solid. Loved the trade at the time and love it even more now.
August 12, 201313 yr If I remember correctly Grandal was also named in the biogenesis case? And Yonder is a solid player, and would undoubtedly have more HR's if he was playing in GABP. He may make an all star game or two in his career. But it doesn't look like he has the pop to be a power hitter in SD (but then again... who does?)...
August 12, 201313 yr Boxberger has been okay thus far. 81 K's in 53 innings in AAA with 3.40 ERA He was almost the back breaker to the deal. They wouldn't do it without him. Walt didn't want to give him up. Safe to say I'm glad he decided to give him up.
August 12, 201313 yr Given the shape of the Reds pen he was easily expendable. Reds bullpen is rock solid. Loved the trade at the time and love it even more now. I agree wholeheartedly, just pointing out that the young righty has pretty good stuff.

Alonso is Votto with lower OBP and slower of foot.
August 12, 201313 yr Nice, thanks RP. I think it's just as impressive dating back to last year, too. You're probably right on that. I just went back & looked at this year's games. Hope the winning continues.
August 12, 201313 yr Frazier mashes at Wrigley for some reason so hopefully this series can get him back on track.
August 13, 201313 yr Is Cueto ever coming back? I would seriously consider shipping that cat out if the Reds don't have post season success.
