May 4, 200818 yr What happens tomorrow if Weathers comes off the DL? Who is gone? Jr. looked horrible swinging the bat today. Unless, Walt has the guts enough to pull the trigger on trades, I don't see any solution to the Reds offensive woes. If Walt wants to keep his job, he better do something
May 4, 200818 yr I'm going to close this thread. It should be opened on a Monday of the week the games are played.
May 4, 200818 yr What trade(s) are you going to make? You have to have a willing trade partner. Yeah , anyone would be crazy to want these guys:jump:
May 4, 200818 yr What trade(s) are you going to make? You have to have a willing trade partner. If Danny Ainge can take the remnants of a 23-win team and bring in Garnett and Allen, surely something can be done for the Reds. Not on that scale but at least something?
May 4, 200818 yr Is this team worse than last years squad? I remember one argument by the optimists last year was " hey these are close games ". They're getting smoked now. So what do we think better, worse, equal? I'm going with equal. 70-92 is starting sound like the bar they will reach again.
May 4, 200818 yr The easy decision is to send Bray back down since he has options, this won't team actually make a REAL decision, as in cutting dead weight from the roster. The Reds will now get healthy against the Cubs, not fair. :irked:
May 4, 200818 yr If Danny Ainge can take the remnants of a 23-win team and bring in Garnett and Allen, surely something can be done for the Reds. Not on that scale but at least something? And that's why you can't compare the two sports. Joe Dimaggio and Cy Young wouldn't make much of a difference on this team.

May 4, 200818 yr If Danny Ainge can take the remnants of a 23-win team and bring in Garnett and Allen, surely something can be done for the Reds. Not on that scale but at least something? Things work a little bit different in MLB without a salary cap. Ainge was able to get those players from non-contending teams because sometimes it is more valuable to free up cap space than to have a player that can't help you win a title. In baseball you usually get prospects and have to wait awhile for them to develop. There is no quick fix for this situation, this is a bad ballclub.
May 4, 200818 yr And that's why you can't compare the two sports. Joe Dimaggio and Cy Young wouldn't make much of a difference on this team. Of couse not, they're both dead. However, DiMaggio only has one less RBI than Valentin and Young one less win than Harang, Arroyo and Cueto.
May 4, 200818 yr Author I'm no longer allowed to post in here. Correct. Take it to the Cubs thread. You've been blackballed. :sssh:
May 4, 200818 yr Since the week 5 thread was already closed I just wanted to thank the Reds for helping the Braves, hopefully get back on track! Thanks again!!! :lol:
