I mean I understand the whole "going home" thing, but didn't he say he was "home" when he was traded to the Reds?

 

I just figured instead of going "home" I would want to go somewhere and have a chance at a title. Even if it is a supporting role.

Would you want him in Atlanta if you had to be on the hook for the rest of this year and 16 million next year? Didn't think so...

I wouldn't want him in Atlanta period. I know the "contending" teams that he probably wants to go to probably doesn't want him but I'm sure there has to be a team out there somewhere besides Seattle that wants him. I'm not disagreeing the with trading idea. I just don't think he should be starting for the Reds, it's holding back a player that could really help the Reds right now.

But your premise was that they were milking him to sell 600. That's simply very far from the truth...

And I still believe, that. I mean they may not be promoting it heavily, but I strongly believe that when he hit's his next homerun that more and more tickets will be sold.

 

Same way with Boston, they're not promoting heavily but Manny is 2 away from 500.

How many more times does it have to be explained. There is not a spot for him to play every day right now and until there is he won't be up here.

Bull. Ryan Freel is no reason to keep Bruce in the minors.

Griffey will not resign with the Reds, so trade him for something now.
