July 27, 200719 yr By the way, it appears the Diamondbacks have entered into the Dunn rumor-mill. Can the 31st get here any slower? Aarrgghh. The Diamondbacks do have a loaded farm system, and could probably offer the Reds a better deal than most other teams. I would have to be blown away if I were Krivsky though.

July 27, 200719 yr Really looking forward to this series, Cubs playing well, you never know what Reds team might show up. Should be fun. With that said, I just hope the Reds play very poorly and then resume their quest for 500 Monday. :lol:

July 27, 200719 yr Oh go take a nap, and when you wake up go play some shuffleboard. I actually prefer Canasta, but as tired as I might be I can't miss this series. With that said, the Reds will go out this weekend and play a perfect series.
July 27, 200719 yr From CTR: Saarlos outrighted to Louisville, Victor Santos called up. Really. Santos made 5 appearances at Louisville and was 0-0 with a 1.93.
July 27, 200719 yr From CTR: Saarlos outrighted to Louisville, Victor Santos called up. Really. Santos made 5 appearances at Louisville and was 0-0 with a 1.93. That makes sense, but I don't know why Santos was sent down in the first place. Just as I finished typing that, I pulled his last 10 games before he was sent down. He gave up 14 earned runs, 21 hits in 20 innings. Goodness, I thought he pitched better than that.
July 27, 200719 yr CNN As if the relief market isn't weak enough, word is David Weathers has been pulled off the block. His $3.1 million salary for 2008 is just too much of a bargain for Cincy to give up. To expand on CNN's source for that report, the Newark-Star Ledger said Weathers had been pulled off the block not only because of his bargain salary, but also because the Reds front office is feeling the pressure to win next season. http://www.nj.com/sports/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-2/118551043316250.xml&coll=1
July 27, 200719 yr My thought is, if they traded Weathers, who in the heck would close games for them? It seems like several times a week he is asked to pitched 2 innings and usually does an outstanding job. He is one of the few guys that has been reliable all year. It is scary though to pencil him in as your closer next year already.

July 27, 200719 yr More from CTR: Asked Pete Mackanin about the rotation he said it was intact until the 31st. After that he said Arroyo, Harang, Livingston, Belisle. Notice anything missing? I wouldn't expect to see Lohse in a Reds uniform again unless it's as a pinch-runner or pinch-hitter. CTR
