November 12, 200916 yr Author Reds Aren't in Fire Sale Mode...yet http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2009/11/11/reds-arent-in-a-fire-sale-mode-yet-at-least/ Looks like the Reds have some interest in Miguel Olivo if they are not to resign Hernandez at a reasonable price. I'd love either move. My gut tells me Hernandez is probably better defensively, but I don't know much about Olivo's defense.
November 16, 200916 yr Looks like the Reds have re-signed Ramon Hernandez. Any details on the length or money involved?
November 16, 200916 yr Any details on the length or money involved? C Trent said one year with an option (I think). No idea on money.
November 16, 200916 yr Author It looks like the option will become a guarantee if Hernandez plays in 120 games. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10379058/Reds-re-sign-catcher-Hernandez
November 16, 200916 yr It would be still a good idea for get Hernandez back down to the bottom part of the order and give Hanigan a few more chances to show his on-base skills are legit. It isn't like a lot of other teams were going to be knocking down the door to sign Hernandez. And ... why such a hurry to resign Hernandez? Wouldn't it be smart to see who gets non-tendered shortly?

November 16, 200916 yr Author Hernandez's deal is $3 million in 2010 with the option being $3.25 million. I like that deal.

December 8, 200916 yr Author Here's a transcript of an interview with Dusty Baker. I'll warn you, it isn't that great and it made me remember how I yearn for someone other than Dusty to lead the Reds. His answers are about as generic as Marvin Lewis's. http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=60700

December 8, 200916 yr I don't even want to open the link.:cry: I made the mistake of opening it. What disturbed me the most was the fact that he even acts like the job isn't Stubbs' to lose in center right now. Taveras should have to earn absolutely every single at bat he gets next year by showing ability in spring training. There is no way you can even consider the job partly his.

It bothers me how he always discredits the question about Phillips moving to SS. He's open about needing an upgrade at SS, but refuses to acknowledge that Phillips could make the switch.

He's open about needing an upgrade at SS, but refuses to acknowledge that Phillips could make the switch. I agree. He has to realize he's managing a small market team. They require such switches. The Reds do not have the money to bring in a shortstop as good as (I assume) Phillips could do it. Besides what are they going to do with Frazier now at second? Take the time and resources to build him up then let him waste away on a minor league bus? Or trade him away and kick ourselves in the rear when he meets his potential one day?
