August 26, 201115 yr Phillips 2b, Lewis lf, Votto 1b, Bruce rf, Hernandez c, Stubbs cf, Frazier 3b, Janish ss, Willis p Would it have killed Dusty to play Alonso in left tonight instead of Lewis?
August 26, 201115 yr Ramon was claimed on waivers today, then promptly pulled back.... Tally up another one to Walt's head-scratching moves....:ohbrother: Must not have been able to make a deal. He projects as a Type A FA so they could receive draft picks if they lose him to free agency.
August 26, 201115 yr Would it have killed Dusty to play Alonso in left tonight instead of Lewis?Haven't the Reds said the Alonso-outfield experiment is over?
August 26, 201115 yr Must not have been able to make a deal. He projects as a Type A FA so they could receive draft picks if they lose him to free agency. Only if they offer him arb. If they offer, he'd most likely accept.
August 26, 201115 yr Only if they offer him arb. If they offer, he'd most likely accept. It wouldn't come as a shock if Hernandez got a two-year offer somewhere, though. It's a risk, but if the Reds weren't being offered much for him, I can't blame them for holding on to him. He may still be a part of the picture next year.

August 26, 201115 yr Haven't the Reds said the Alonso-outfield experiment is over? Makes sense this team doesn't need more offense!
August 26, 201115 yr Makes sense this team doesn't need more offense!They don't need offense so bad that they can afford to give runs away in the outfield, which the Reds apparently felt that Alonso was doing.
August 27, 201115 yr They don't need offense so bad that they can afford to give runs away in the outfield, which the Reds apparently felt that Alonso was doing. Exactly, because we'd hate for them to finish 4th instead of 3rd because of poor defense in leftfield.
