July 28, 200719 yr He's done:confused: I wish him the best and I hope he continues that pace to 20 wins in his next start. With that said, I don't mind at all him watching the rest of this game.
July 28, 200719 yr Author Great trade. Makes me really wonder whats in the works. Picking up position players that aren't needed hint of something more to come:fire:
July 28, 200719 yr Harang was just traded, that's why he was pulled from the game. Just kidding. Harang has lower back pain.
July 28, 200719 yr If the Reds aren't offering enough in whatever trade they might make, they can always "throw in" Moeller and Stone to sweeten the pot. :lol:

July 29, 200719 yr Nice win for the Cubs, get the win tomorrow and get the heck out of town. If the Cardinals can hold on and beat Milwaukee tonight to sweep the doubleheader, the lead is down to a game and a half. Cubs got a break with Harang leaving after the 1st, don't know how much it would have mattered, but I can take a wild guess and assume the Cubs don't get 8 runs.
July 29, 200719 yr The more i have thought about this Cantu trade, the more I do not understand it. The Reds have now Conine, Hatteburg, Phillips, Lopez (when he comes back), Gonvo (when he comes back), Encarnacion, Cantu, with Votto in the minors ready to come up. Hatteburg and Conine will most likely be traded, but that does not leave room for Cantu if Votto is the first baseman. I had heard that Kriv asked for a 2nd baseman from the Angels in the Dunn proposal, why? We already have Phillips, unless he planned on trading Dunn and Gonzo, move Phillips to short, and put Cantu at 2nd, Votto at 1st, and Hopper and Freel spliting time in the outfield alongside with Griffey and Hamilton. That still leaves Keppinger on the bench, and he is doing great right now. Krivskey should trade Dunn, Conine, and Hatteburg for 1 or 2 good young releivers and a good prospect. Bring up Votto and Cantu and start Cantu against lefties and Votto against righties, and in the offseason address the issue of TOO MANY INFIELDERS.
July 29, 200719 yr Conine and Hatteberg won't be back next year, might not even be with the team in a week. That would take care of two of the extra infielders. What the Reds get in return for either one if they are traded would be interesting.
