Zach Day

Since Zach Day got DFA'd by the Rockies today the big question for tonight is how many times in 9 innings will Chris Welsh and George Grande lobby for the Reds to pick him up?

I know he's from Cincinnati, and he must be a likeable guy for everybody to gush over him like a schoolgirl, but he's 27 and has gotten run out of Washington and Colorado in short order.

Day's Pitching Wins total for 2005, according to the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, was -1.0, and his career total is -0.5. Maybe you'd consider taking a chance on him if he weren't 27, but he is, and that's that. For the record, Dave Williams had -0.4 Pitching Wins last year, and he's left-handed and we all know how he's turned out.

The Reds can't resist these "locals" . . . see Rick White.

DFA's

Tyler Walker has also now been DFA'd by the Giants. The word is, though, that he has been crap so far. So it may not be worth it.

Is worth a shot have you seen are AAA roster its crap.Zach Day can pitch is saw him in person as an Expo.He has been in Colorado so of course he will have inflated numbers.He did have 1 quality start this season and thats better then Dave Williams.Pitching is pitching and Milton is on the DL so I would like the pick up of Day.Tyler Walker can pitch and was the giants closer last season and should also be picked up.Alot of people said we did not need Brandon Phillips and he is doing well.
