Not true, they still have Drew Stubbs, oh wait, no one else wants him. :rolleyes:

What are your thoughts on the trade yesterday? I am not sure about it. Travis Wood was good, but had some problems as he went to the minors a couple times last year. I don't know much about the guy we got.

The jury's still out waiting to see which two minor leaguers are included in this deal, but for the most part I like it. Marshall's one of the best relievers in the game right now. He'll only be here for one year, but one year of a sure thing is better than four years of "what if" with Wood.

Sorry for your loss. But it does look like Epstein is in rebuilding mode. Could be a good thing in a year or two.

Inlcuded in the Wood/Marshall trade are Sappelt and Torreyes. No big loss there, but I thought that Sappelt had enough value to be a part of one more trade before ST.

Since we got rid of most of the good ones, maybe we won't have to hear about prospects all year in Cincy for once.

They have a good team, and I like them for the NL Central, but WS predictions are kinda worthless at this point in time:2

Dan makes the prediction every season, maybe sometime before he dies he will be right. Its just that this season SI threw in their prediction for him to piggy back. :sh

Sheehan also notes that the 5 best teams in baseball are in the AL and that the Reds might win a VERY WEAK NL Central. :rolleyes:

A very weak central. But as always, you can't count the Cards out either.. They seem to do crazy things with weak teams on paper. It will either be the Reds or Cards winning the Central, with my money going towards the Reds.:2

I lol'ed when I heard that an SI contributor picked the Reds to win the WS this year. What a friggin' joke!

Not a joke. This is our year! :tu:tu:tu

We've made improvements, but not that much.

;s :tpd: If, IF:

Everyone stays healthy
Stubbs doesn't strike out 200+ times
Bruce can have more than 2 good months
They get some decent starting pitching
Play as weak of a schedule as they have the last two seasons
Can keep the bullpen from giving up leads
Find a LF

Then they can maybe win the division, but they are far from better than at least a few teams in the NL. Lest you forget that the Phillies got stronger and the Reds are stuck in neutral. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Since you and SI are predicting WS, how about a 5'er bet Dan?

5'er that the Reds don't win the World Series. You won't bet it, just like you balked on the playoff bet last season and the Stubbs bets. :rolleyes:

Again, I am not betting you. You are a sore loser and if I would win, all I would hear from you is "They played a weak schedule" "You are a homer" Blah, blah, blah.... :td

You will never bet your predictions. They will not win the World Series, but you and SI claim they will. :r:r:r:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
The Reds signed Ryan Madson. Holy crap! What a great move.

The Reds have signed 2 guys for the back end of the bullpen that only gave up 3 homers in 140 innings.

:banger :tu :banger
