Baseballguy Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 :confused: Finally draft a player who could put you over the top for many years, and blow it. He will bolt as soon as his contracts up. If he didn't earn it, it would be one thing, but he has. I can see it now...In a few years when it's contract extension time, he won't even listen. He won't forget this, and I won't blame him. http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080320&content_id=2446821&vkey=spt2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=cin
FairFan Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 :madman::madman: Who are they going to rotate in CF? Not a good move.
HammerTime Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 He was doing ok in ST until the quad injury. I don't see a problem here really. He won't forget what that he got hurt in ST? Please give me a break. He will be up in a few months.
dmderringer10 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 He hasnt even played half of a season at AAA. He didn't exactly go out and dominate Spring Training to win a job. The quad injury sure didnt help but I expected that he'd have to have a great spring training to win the job. He didn't even hit over .300 in the spring. He'll be up by the all-star break and all this will blow over.

I'm just amazed that he hasn't signed Kenny Lofton to play center yet.
saint4 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Well, he is there now, he will be back up the first month of the season.
The Scribe Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 If he starts the season in Louisville and gets some at bats and is then brought up in June, it delays his free agency by a year.

I don't think its that simple. It could certainly delay it but it also depends on the other players who have the same tenure and where he ranks in that group. There is no hard and fast rule regarding a cutoff date as I understand it.
98NCCalum Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 This is the first real sign to me that things are being done the right way, finally. I'm glad they didn't cater to the fans who know not what they speak, and did the right thing in letting him get some more seasoning. Can not hurt him to go down there and kill some AAA pitching for a few months.

There is no where to play him right now, He isn't a natural CF. I still think we ship Griff once he hits his 600 to make room for him.
John Anthony Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I think its a great move... he is a baby (in age).... if the Reds move Griffey he will come to town faster... he will be in Cincy before season ends but let him start the season in Louey without intense pressure.
Baseballguy Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 Overreact much??? Maybe I do...Effects you how? Give your opinion of the situation, and try and keep the one or two line sarcastic responses to a minimum please. You are a very smart fella when it comes to most subjects on here, but sometimes the sarcasim overshadows your knowledge. Your better than that. Thank you.
