Track the Reds (Week 12)

[HammerTime]

Smith nails it down. 1st career save.

Danny Ray needs to be on a flight to Louisville tomorrow. Good story last year, but enough is enough...

 

It's long overdue. As soon as Bill Bray gets a few more innings, he's gone.

Indeed. Burton or Bray needs to be up here ready or not.

[ColonelCrazy]

The biggest part about this win may have been the offensive outburst at the end of the game.

Absolutely, if they're healthy.

[HammerTime]

Absolutely, if they're healthy.

 

Burton gave up 2 unearned runs tonight.

Coco really is "full pack junior." Thank goodness we pulled it out, Daniel Ray had me sweating. Nice to see some bats finally come alive too.

[ColonelCrazy]

I like signing Matthews Jr. to the minor league deal. Apparently Gary Matthews Sr. & Dusty are best buds, but Jr. could play too. He'll be a quality backup option if somebody goes down. I wonder what that means for Dickerson, though?

[ColonelCrazy]

I think the Reds should pursue Cliff Lee in the offseason, not this season. Get him to replace Harang & be our Opening Day Starter. In '09, Lee makes $9 million.

 

Phillips is going to make $11 million next year. It may be time to trade him in the offseason.

I think they should pursue him now. If he comes here and they somehow make the playoffs he might stick around b/c he thinks Votto, BP, and Bruce are good. If he hits the open market after never pitching here he won't give them much of a look IMO. I doubt they outbid the big boys for him.

You may be right, but what would you be willing to part with to have Lee for 1/2 a season? The big boys will be suiting Lee regardless of where he finishes the season this year.

I think that if there's interest by the Reds in Lee, they need to pursue him now instead of waiting until the trading deadline approaches. I agree with SSC.

Glad to see that the boys were able to get back on track last night!

[Clyde]

My guess is Lee will go for $15M to $18M next year. He's not going to be a Red IMO.

I'd be willing to part w/ a lot for Lee for the rest of this season.
