I think the Reds are making some strides but won't be a serious contender until they either unload some of their albatross contracts (Weathers, Griffey, Gonzalez, Patterson) or strike while the iron is hot and let Jocketty make some nice deadline deals. Their current roster just doesn't have enough working parts to make the post-season.

Anybody to be honest. I was hoping I'd never see him a Reds uniform again.

Weathers, Griffey and Patterson are signed for this year only I believe.

Strike while the iron is hot?

 

 

What exactly are you implying?

Exactly. That's 14 million that frees up for next year. 17 million if they get rid of Gonzalez. I would think 17 million would get them a nice #1 starter.

So the Chase for 600 now applies to Griffey's age when he reaches the milestone.
