Soto with another HR for Iowa tonight... it's so ridiculous that he's in AAA

 

Soto with an OPS over 1.024.

 

Our catchers both with OPS under .600.

 

Makes perfect sense that Soto is stuck in AAA.

Jim is blowing games by holding off on a move. Go get Dunn or Griffey already. This shouldn't be that hard,

 

Has anyone else made any big moves yet?

 

Teams are still leveraging.

 

Not that I have faith in Hendry, but I don't expect to see big stuff start going down for another day or two.

Do you get punished for being the first? These games we are blowing mean a lot as much as the ones in late september.

 

No you don't get punished for being first, but you might have to drastically overpay. The teams that have what other teams want are going to wait till the eleventh hour for the best offer. Aside from Jedi mind tricks (which I am certain Hendry does not know), I fail to see how he can speed the process up without overpaying.

I think the Reds are ready to start moving guys. Afterall the have to rush up Jay Bruce and not appreciate him like they did Dunn and Kearns.

 

I am not confident that Krivsky has the brains to unload Griffey and Dunn. Clearly he should, but I don't know if he will.

Smack the crap out of him. You might go to jail, but the cops will respect you for it. Actually in a similar situation I had the guy was afraid to call the cops.

I would move Griffey, but hold on to Dunn and stick him at 1B. Joey Votto is not going to hit like Dunn.

Moving Griffey is an absolute no-brainer. Unfortunately so is Krivsky.

Well we do have a ton of middle relievers, he loves them.
