Redsfest was packed! It was a good time though.
Here is a picture of my aunt and I with Jay Bruce. He was super friendly, shook my hand, and didn't come off as a jerk George Foster: Dusty Baker: |

Re: Red's Fans Check in
I'm hearing that that deal fell through. Street is too expensive. I'd rather go with someone we've already got than to pay out $8 million for him.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Question: How do you guys feel about the ownership of the Reds? Do you truly believe that Bob wants to bring winning baseball back to Cincinnati, or was that all a sham just to sell tickets? We had 2010, but last offseason and this offseason make me feel like we are getting intentionally shafted.
Bob is definitely not Mike Brown by any means, but I'm starting to wonder about him.

This could be the last year they can compete in this division, once Votto and Phillips find greener pastures.

As for BP and Votto, I'm confident that we'll sign BP to a four year deal this offseason, but I'm afraid Votto will be gone after next year, and we'll have traded away his replacement for a bottom of the rotation pitcher.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
I think they are trying to win. I think they will make a lot of moves this off season since they didnt get very far last year. I think the owners thought they would be lucky again like they were the season before

Maybe now that Ramirez is upset about trying to move to 3B he would be open to come There were some pretty good players out there last year and teams in the Reds division improved while they stayed stagnant. And there certainly hasn't been much news about them making any 'blockbuster' moves this offseason. The Reds can't put butts in seat if they don't win, the Marlins are making moves to try and fill their seats, even if they may not win with them. The Reds have the feeling of the Bengals in that they don't seem to put a ton of effort into winning, just the bottom line.

Phillips would be nice to keep, but I think he really wants to play for a contender. Nothing worse than being an All-Star/Gold Glove winner on a bad team.

Well, so far it is working out for the Reds, other teams in the division are getting weaker. Votto is a lock for the All-Star Game starter now that he is gone, and assuming Fielder goes to the AL. As an aside to this, the Cardinals now have a need at firstbase and Votto is an upcoming free agent. The Cardinals will certainly spend more money than the Reds to try to get him if they are players in the Votto-Derby if he will listen.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Good news for Reds fans, but bad news for baseball in general. Pujols looks like a d0uche b/c of this. Whatever happened to loyalty to the fans and organization that made him? Pujols was set for life, but he traded it all for a couple more million dollars. I hope his numbers go in the tank, starting with this upcoming year.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
If It's only a few million more dollars then St. Louis should have came up with the money. I don't blame Pujols for taking the most money he can get.
But I agree it will be great to have him out of our division.

It looks like it might be about $50 million more money and the Angels are making some serious moves to be contenders immediately. I really thought he was pretty willing to stay on the Cardinals, but they couldn't come up with the scratch and maybe there was something behind closed doors we missed. If they really wanted Pujols, they had many oppotunities in the last 2 years to take care of him, maybe he felt a bit unwanted there.
