Reds wouldn't discuss trading Hatteberg
Yep, you read that right.
From Gammons' Blog: "There is a lot of action on Kyle Lohse," says one scout of the Reds RHP. "He's always been a tease, but he's viewed as a big arm that could click." Cincinnati is reluctant to even discuss trading David Weathers or Scott Hatteberg, who would have been perfect for the Yankees had they been willing to discuss him.

We all knew about Lohse. And I thought we all knew trading Hatteberg was a foregone conclusion, if they could get someone to agree to the right deal. But, I would have never thought that they wouldn't trade Hatteberg.
How does keeping him make sense? The Reds need to give up the smoke-blowing about still being in the thick of things. They can't get back into the playoff race. (at least with the current crew as it stands) And with Votto ready, Hatteberg on this team beyond this year doesn't make sense.

And if...
Boobs, if I met you on the street and ran circles around you, would you recognize me as superior to you or would you think, "Who is this nutjob and why is he running circles around me and when will he stop?"

If Conine and Hatteberg (especially Conine)
On another note, when did people decide Conine was having a good season? He's sucked pretty hard this year, in my opinion.

Last month...
OTOH, he went on a hot streak last year, too, then turned stone cold as they started to scout him. So they may think he can't maintain this pace.

I won't be surprised if:
But I will be surprised if Hatteberg is not traded.There are better fish in the sea for contenders who are looking to find a right handed bat off the bench than Conine. Hatteberg still has a couple of years left in him and he's cheap - somebody will pick him up. If not then maybe Krivsky will do something really stupid and trade Votto for a broken down starter and an injured reliever to be name later.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Edwin Inconception traded.
However at this point in time there is a really good chance that not a whole at all will be done as Wayne is hoping against hope that Bray and Eddie G. will soon be back and somehow things will work out.
Surprise us Wayne and do something exceptional - It is your job - so do it.

RE: feelings
I don't think that Griffey or Dunn will be dealt.
Something tells me that Edwin will be.
