Reds signed outfielder Tuffy Rhodes to a minor league contract.

Probably Wayne Krivsky's most interesting addition so far, even if Rhodes is well past his prime at age 37. The two-time 50-homer guy in Japan battled shoulder problems and slipped to .240/.337/.478 in 101 games last year. In 2004, he hit .287/.378/.577 for Yomiuri. He might be able to help some teams as a reserve outfielder, but the Reds probably aren't one of them. Feb. 14 - 5:33 pm et

 

I'll never forget that opening day vs the Mets. :) Now we can strike him out regularly. :lol:

just what they need, another outfielder.

 

Replacement for Dunn when they trade him just after signing him to a two-year deal.

Do I miss the future OF of Rhodes, Roberson, and Zambrano.

 

They had nothing on Walton, Smith, Kieschnick.

 

or Bullett, Roberson and Timmons

He turned out to be a pretty good pitcher, though. :lol: (I know, you're actually talking about the great Eddie Zambrano.)
