Actually, speaking of Mark Reynolds...remember when he got off to an awesome start and some thought maybe he turned it around? He is 0 for his last 19 and in his last 110 at bats, he has 50 Ks and a .471 OPS.
Man I didn't realize how he'd slumped this year. Those are some pedestrian numbers. Then again, we were saying that about Dom Brown and he finally remembered how to hit this season.
Any chance this part of a larger Garza trade? Highly unlikely but they are interested. Otherwise this came outta nowhere. I think this means DeJesus hangs around another year, especially with us likely trading Schierholz.
Eh. I wonder how much the slot money is. I'm ok with taking Arrieta and seeing if we can't fix something or try him out of the pen. That said, I would've preferred a prospect as opposed to Strop but what's done is done. Not disappointed but not excited either.
Yeah, that's who I would've guessed. He hasnt pitched well his last couple of outings. Sealed his fate. Couldn't bump Wood or Feldman. Also, what's going on with Scott Baker? I haven't heard any news recently.
Yup. I liked the Harden trade at the time, though I was sad trading our favorite ginger outfielder for him. Happy for Donaldson. Didn't think he'd do this well either.
I just noticed that Paul Maholm is 3-0 with zero earned runs and 20K in 20 IP to start the year. Also, Joey Votto currently has a .289 average........and a .542 OBP. :shock:
