Keppinger to the Astros ...

[HammerTime]

You've seen the kid play, right?

 

Yeah I have seen him play before. I like what he bring to the Reds more so than Keppinger.

Here's a pretty good read on Rosales from Hal McCoy.

Keppinger was hitting below .180 and isn't as good as either of them in the field. Plus Gonzo is 100%.

 

For now

I never really understood the..."player to be named later" trades.

 

Not sure if this counts as a question or not but I believe that these types of trades are a list of players the Reds (or whomever) can choose from within a certain time period. An example would be a list of 5 or 6 minor leaguers that the Astros and Reds agree upon and the Reds would then get a chance to look closer at those individuals during the alloted time to make a choice.

 

I could be COMPLETLY wrong, but this is what I thought they were.

Ryan Freel plays hard too.

 

Anyone that plays hard in Cincy is immediately tagged "Pete Rose". I even think the kid that ran on the field a few years back and slid into home was mentioned as being "Roseesque".:lol:

It was an incredible slide :lol:

According to the reports on 1530 if he makes the Astros major league roster then the list is a better list than if he is assigned to the minors.
