If so, he would become a free agent, with at least one eye gazing toward San Francisco. "The Giants are definitely on my list," Aurilia said. "It's something definitely on my mind. I hope there would be interest. I'm curious to see who they will bring on to manage the team."
October 10, 200619 yr From Lance... Seems Jerry and Rich Aurilia went nose to nose with a week left in the season, and things got "pretty ugly". Rich told those that saw it, he wasn't coming back if Jerry was in charge in 2007. But I'm told money has a way of talking and if Rich doesn't get a better offer, don't be surprised if Rich returns.

Hmmmmm, not good when a "non-superstar" player, attempts to force the hand of Management, verses the Manager.....they always seem to about face, stay and play or get traded....Let's see what happens, in the latest saga of..... "As the Reds Churn"

"As the Reds Churn" Unless some major moves in changing personnel are made this offseason, I have a bad feeling about 2007.
October 10, 200619 yr Unless some major moves in changing personnel are made this offseason, I have a bad feeling about 2007. This should help... Enquirer The Reds have 10 players under contract for next season, making a total of $48.925 million: OF Ken Griffey Jr. $12.5 million OF Adam Dunn $10.5 million SP Eric Milton $9 million C Jason LaRue $5.2 million SP Bronson Arroyo $3.8 million RP Rheal Cormier $2.25 million OF/IF Ryan Freel $1.7 million IF Scott Hatteberg $1.65 million C Javier Valentin $1.325 million IF Juan Castro $1 million The arbitration-eligible players: pitchers Aaron Harang and Kyle Lohse and catcher David Ross...will get another $11 million or so. Even if everyone else on the roster made the big-league minimum, that would put the payroll at $65 million. That would leave $10 million for shopping if the payroll went to $75 million.

Doesn't sound promising.
October 10, 200619 yr I can see $14.2 mil, I would like to have free....:sssh: We'll have to eat a big portion of that to move those two.
October 10, 200619 yr Griffey & Dunn total 23 million. Trade them both straight up for A-Rod!!Interesting proposal and who, would move into the defensive positions. We'll have to eat a big portion of that to move those two.That is a big drawback, unless some team is willing to accept.
October 10, 200619 yr Author I can see $14.2 mil, I would like to have free....:sssh: Part of that 14.2 mil, would be a good deal at about 4 or 5. The other would be a good deal at about $34.15.

October 10, 200619 yr 1B- Aurillia 2B- Phillips SS- A-Rod 3B- Encarnarcion C- Ross ( Could package him for A-Rod. His value is high right now) LF- ? CF- Freel RF- ? One outfield position would have to be filled by us finding a lead off man. The other one is Jay Bruce but it may be after the all star break.

One outfield position would have to be filled by us finding a lead off man. The other one is Jay Bruce but it may be after the all star break. To even think that David Ross' name would be mentioned as a key part in a trade package for ARod is one of the most hilarious things I have heard in a long, long time.

I agree with the leadoff spot need and you know me, throw in quality pitching need. Interesting and would Denorfia fit in one of the OF spots.
