Picking up a 37 year old with an $8 million pricetag for a single year doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
December 29, 201411 yr We need to free up money. Picking up a 37 year old with an $8 million pricetag for a single year doesn't sound like a good plan to me. Someone has to play LF. Wouldn't be a terrible option for 1 year.
December 29, 201411 yr It's not clear when the trade fell apart. It could have been before the Reds dealt Latos & Simon.
December 29, 201411 yr Thank God. What is the affininty for old over paid OFers with this team? Guessing Walt nixed it because hes not an old Cardinal
December 29, 201411 yr We need to free up money. Picking up a 37 year old with an $8 million pricetag for a single year doesn't sound like a good plan to me. How would a 1 year deal tie up money?
December 29, 201411 yr How would a 1 year deal tie up money? ...I just think it could be spent better elsewhere.
December 29, 201411 yr I wonder what Aoki is asking for. Would be perfect for this team, IMO. Byrd wouldn't be bad but if they are asking too much no point in it for an old 1 year option.
December 29, 201411 yr At this point, the Reds might as well deal Chapman for some young close to ML ready guys and just stick Winker out there in LF and get him some experience. This team is going to be lucky to win more than 70 regardless of who they have out there.
December 29, 201411 yr 8 mil for 1 year isn't a terrible option assuming they didn't have to give up much
December 30, 201411 yr 8 mil for 1 year isn't a terrible option assuming they didn't have to give up much So u thought the salary paid to Luddy was money well spent?
December 30, 201411 yr So u thought the salary paid to Luddy was money well spent? Byrd actually can play baseball still unlike Ludwick
December 30, 201411 yr Byrd actually can play baseball still unlike Ludwick Maybe up until this point eventually the flower wilts
December 30, 201411 yr Someone has to play LF. Wouldn't be a terrible option for 1 year. Why would we replace Ludwig with Ludwig 2.0?
