Reds Hot After Blanton

[reds44]

I am hoping a trade with Cincy getting fleeced goes through.

Keep hoping.

 

Votto for Blanton? Sure. Anything more? No way

 

Votto and Bailey or Cueto? Yeah right.

 

My personal guess would be Votto, Stubbs, and an as yet unnamed pitching prospect in the lower minors.

That would make more sense.

Just wait until Dusty refers to Brandon Phillips as his girlfriend.

Beane will hold out for one of Bailey or Cuetto, even if it means he doesn't get Votto.

I don't know that I would give up my top prospects for Blanton if I were the Reds.

Gotta have the horses, dude. Those ponies won't get you anywhere.

omg

 

Yeah dude, we wouldn't give them up for Bedard or Haren so it's obvious we would do it for Blanton.

Kerry Wood was doomed to get hurt. Prior? Hopefully he learned his lesson, lol.

And when you hire a manager like Dusty Baker, one of two things ought to be true: either you’ve considered his philosophy on pitch counts and signed off on it, or you’ve given him the “Birds, Bees and Labrums” lecture and expect him to change his ways. If the careers of Bailey and Cueto are ruined by high pitch counts, it will be Dusty who pulled the trigger–but the Reds who hired the assassin.

Yes....what about that is something everyone didn't already know?

They wanted Bruce for Bedard. Beane is willing to deal for only Cuetto. Cuetto is only a pony, dude. Blanton is a horse. Can't win without the horses, dude.

All they need is the horses head, because they already have the horses ass leading the team.

I think Reds44 is assuming you are making up these comments. "Dude" and "Gotta have the horses" are straight from Baker's mouth.

 

I just browsed Cincinnati's 40 man roster, Juan Castro looks an awful lot like Jose Macias. Thanks to Dusty, he's going to get lots of playing time. Dude is versatile!

No I'm not. I live in the Chicagoland area. I am well aware of the comments he has made.

 

Juan Castro has been annoying for a few years now, long before Dusty came. Freel is more like Macias, IMO.

lol ok that was kinda funny.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Freel will play CF and lead-off. Book it.

I must have missed where Dusty was the GM.

Nope. If somebody is going to start in CF other then Bruce it will be Hopper. Dusty will want to use Freel in the super sub role. I think Bruce will start in CF, though.

 

"Book it."

Dusty has always influenced player acquisitions. My guess is he has the ear in Cincy as well.

 

Dusty is going to want some horses and has little use for the kids unless they help him get one of the horses.

And nothing has shown this to be true. The Reds actually traded Josh Hamilton for another "kid" pitcher.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dusty didn't need Hamilton when he plans on playing Free in CF.

When you actually get something to back up any of the crap you are spewing out of your mouth, I'll be ready to listen to you.

I have years of watching Dusty Baker on my side. I'm well versed in the ways of the Toothpick.

If you don't appreciate us bashing Dusty, or if you don't believe what we're saying, go to a reds board. We're not forcing you to read our posts. We are all still pissed at dusty and are not going to give evidence every time we bash him. Everyone else on the board acknowledges Baker's veteran fetish and disregard for the significance of obp and walks, so we don't feel the need to include evidence of Baker's shortcomings as a manager in our every post.

Thanks, I know I don't have to read them.
