Why do you think he failed then?
-
Oswalt's back problems.
-
I don't believe MLB Extra Innings is showing this one. It doesn't appear on their schedule.
-
Theriot has gone a long way to make the Cedeno/Theriot debate look ridiculous.
-
I give Hill credit just for being able to still stand at this point.
-
If I'm Uggla I am pissed Marmol got that call.
-
I have to bring in Heilman. No way I leave Marmol in with them loaded.
-
You think Bradley might make an adjustment on those pitches on the inside corner.
-
I know he leaves a lot to be desired offensively, but I think Koyie Hill deserves some credit for catching for pretty much three weeks straight without a day off. That is a hell of a workload.
-
Where would you have played him? Probably wouldn't be worth what it would take to get him to make him just a PH. I don't know anything about Thompson, but it doesn't seem like much especially considering the Nats are paying his salary. Johnson would likely be much better than Hoffpauir for the rest of the season, and we'd have the inside track on bringing him back in free agency if we wanted. As far as I can tell he's never played the outfield. I'd like his bat, but there absolutely no fit for him on this team.

Ok...this is apparently the deal for Rolen. Encarnacion, Josh Roenicke, and Zach Stewart.
-
:-)) Does anyone know what injury Encarnacion had earlier this season? The guy wasn't bad offensively for a third baseman the previous three seasons, and is only 26. I'm curious if he'll stick at third though, because I've heard he's pretty bad with the glove. Wrist. Ran into him a few weeks ago when he was on rehab. The Reds have been down on him for a while. Attitude/Motivation issues.

:shock: We'll see, you never know if these are accurate or not.
-
Some reports have Encarnacion and 2008 1st rounder Yonder Alonso to TOR for Rolen. wow.
-
heheh...wow $5 says Rolen ends up on yet another team at the waiver deadline when the Reds are 10 games out. According to MLBTR, Rolen still has to approve the deal. I highly doubt it. The Reds are very discouraged with Encarnacion. Also, Jocketty and Rolen have a good relationship from their days in St. Louis. Rolen also grew up not too far from Cincinnati in Jasper, Indiana. He'll stay.
-
Rolen to the Reds does happen according to Heyman.
-
Because Kotchman sucks and LaRoche still has some sort of value left in him and he's a hometown guy. I bet the fans are gonna love this move Kotchman can play the role of Doug Mientkiewicz role of 2004. Great defender.
-
Dusty's not ready to conceed. Really though who would they sell? I guess Rhodes. Rhodes, Harang, Arroyo, Weathers, Cordero maybe? Cordero has a pretty bad contract. 09: $12m 10: $12m 11: $12m 12: Club option at $12m or a $1m buyout Yuck. I know. He's been good, but not worth that.
-
Looks like all roads lead back to Atlanta for Adam. I wonder what the Red Sox get, as they're not in the business of giving up something for nothing. Probably not much. Just confirms the deal for Martinez is likely done and they no longer needed LaRoche.

I can't believe the Reds haven't sold off some of their guys yet.
-
If I am LA, I think I would rather get pitching at this point over offense. No slight intended to Gonzalez.
-
Also wouldn't mind investigating Chad Tracy as a bench option.
-
What about bringing Nomar back as a bench/PH type? Surely Oakland wouldn't want much for him. Not sure what he is making. Ehhh, I don't know really.
