July 31, 200818 yr Who are they going to get with that large stash of money that is more productive than Dunn? No One!
July 31, 200818 yr Wow, talk about giving a guy down the road and picking sides... The guy took less money to come here and play...I guarantee everyone of you Reds fans thought it was great and he was going to be the savior..Well bad luck happened and he couldn't play...Not his fault...Now you'd rather have Adam Dunn who apparently isn't the solution either.. Dunn nor Griffey is the answer to the Reds problem, but to give Griffey down the road is just ridiculous and petty..Shoot I'd say he's glad he's leaving Cincy..I would be too if I were hearing half of the things people are saying about him. Dunn is not the solution to the Reds problem....He may not be the problem but he's no where near the solution to it either. Stick to the Braves...
July 31, 200818 yr Come on what? I feel Bob Castellini has been very interested in winning since he's taken over the Reds. He talks a good game. Sort of. Can't say it's reality.
July 31, 200818 yr Who are they going to get with that large stash of money that is more productive than Dunn? Not sure. Maybe nothing. But I'll trust Jock and Castellini until they do something so ignorant there's not a reason to trust them. And trying something different - after years of misery - just doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.
July 31, 200818 yr They save 4 million, get a MLB quality guy in the pen and avoid the mess that would have been declining his option. It's a good move for the Reds. Best of luck to Junior, and I hope he has a deep playoff run with the Sox...
July 31, 200818 yr Author He talks a good game. Sort of. Can't say it's reality. It's reality that he hasn't put a winning team on the field yet, but I think he's making every effort to do that.
July 31, 200818 yr As someone who is a White Sox fan and follows the club, this is a godawful trade. UNLESS Kenny still has another deal up his sleeve for a relief pitcher. I know Konerko has struggled this year, Thome isn't doing much better. But where in the name of goodness is Griffey going to play. Center??? Those who watch the Reds see that he has trouble getting to balls in RF. The White Sox already have Dye in right, they already have a DH, where is Griffey going to play?? This is awful, awful, awful, awful, awful. If this is the only deal the White Sox make and they don't get some relief help, they just handed the division title to the Twins. Unbelievable.
July 31, 200818 yr It's reality that he's put a winning team on the field yet, but I think he's making every effort to do that. You must be watching a different team. I haven't seen a winner in a while.

Can't Dye or Quentin play CF? I know Quentin played some CF for the D'Backs.
July 31, 200818 yr I would but they didn't trade Griffey..:lol: No, just a revolving door for all of your heros over the years.
July 31, 200818 yr There are plenty threads discussing Dunn. I am glad JR is gone. I would like to see the guy get a ring.
July 31, 200818 yr Here's to an era of injury and diappointment in Cincy. Seriously, Griffey will go down as the best player of his generation, but after he got to Cincinnati, it went down hill. Best of luck to Griff, and I hope to see him in a World Series soon!
July 31, 200818 yr Author You must be watching a different team. I haven't seen a winner in a while. Come on. Can't you recognize a mistype when you see one?
