February 14, 201412 yr The Reds will win 8 games this season alone because of the immeasurable pressure Hamilton puts on opponents. I've never seen such a robustly optimistic mood from you -- while I love it, I disagree. I think the value of Billy Hamilton is being wildly over-stated, but it will be a TON of fun if you guys are right. If he hits higher than .225 and has an OBP of higher than .300, I'll be shocked. Happy, heck, down-right ecstatic, but shocked nonetheless.

February 14, 201412 yr Author 2012 team won 97 games with one of the worst OBP from the lead off spot ever. Pitching alone is gonna get them to 90 wins.
February 14, 201412 yr 2012 team won 97 games with one of the worst OBP from the lead off spot ever. Pitching alone is gonna get them to 90 wins. Lost their second best OBP and OPS guy. Lost their 3 guy in the rotation. (I'm still not counting on Cueto being healthy) Got 90 wins. I hate being skeptical of my favorite team I just don't see where they make that up. If they get to 90+ wins I will happily take all kinds of heat. I just don't see it.

If they get near this O/U win total, Bryan Price should be NL Manager of the Year.

February 14, 201412 yr So when is the trade for Bailey and Phillips happening? :clap: :clap: :popcorn:
February 14, 201412 yr So when is the trade for Bailey and Phillips happening? They continue to try and trade Phillips, certainly you were following that story in the paper...right? Can't find a taker for that "top 5 2B", shocking. They should have taken the Uggla deal, even though the deal was horrible, as it would have them rid of him and his impending 10 / 5 status. Takes two to make a deal. Bailey will be dealt and will not be signed to an extension, mock away. My info on the Dusty deal was right, with the "we'll try and trade BP", so I assume the rest is correct. No worries, I'll not share things moving forward that I hear so as not to mislead you HT (and UKMF).

I take the information you give us very seriously and believe what you so. I also appreciate the inside info. You were very very adamant about both of those trades happening for sure and it's looking very very unlike either happen. I don't get the sky is falling mentality when we have 5 pretty good starting pitchers. They had a pretty darn good year with a terrible lead off guy and missing Votto for an extended period of time. (2012) I see no reason this team can't win 90 games.
