C. Trent's Return

by Geki on Jan 30, 2008 9:00 PM EST

I figure some of you know by now, but I haven't seen mention anywhere around here and this is fairly relevant to our own news-gathering and the like. The always-polarizing C. Trent Rosencrans, formerly of the Cincinnati Post, has been hired as the online beat writer for 1530 Homer, and as such, shall continue his (in my opinion) highly useful Reds coverage for us as he did last season. On top of that, he'll also be covering the Bengals and various college teams from the area. I know some of you dislike him because of the gigantic sticks lodged in your respective asses, but I'm absolutely pumped that I don't have to count on Fay the Generally Useless for my Reds updates this season.

I felt Lancaster was better

and C. Trent was creepy. Who remembers C.C., and when he went deep in to Czechoslovakia when he posted a picture of her in his blog?

He also gave more honest opinions and analysis then the other writers. John Fay puts almost no analysis into his writing. But none of the beat writers seem to really break very many stories.

But I also thought of the 4 beat writers he was the best. Hal McCoy seems to be getting old and lazy. He barley writes anything in the off season. The last big story I remember him breaking was that Jim Beatie was the Red's GM. John Fay just sucks, and Mark Sheldon gets an IC, because he writes for mlb.com, and does not have nearly the freedom the other writers hold. He has to write to the mlb.com formula, and can't really be that independent.

The Dusty path to the World Series!

I like his perspective

I really appreciate his commitment to live-blogging. On the whole, I'm glad he's still around. The dude just kind of strikes me as a dick.

He strikes me...

As fat and creepy, but as far as getting inside information is concerned, he is better than Fay. Kind of like Royce Clayton is better than Juan Castro.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

C. Trent creepy?

This blog has promoting a "predict people who will die" pool, and C. Trent is creepy?

JD might not be as 'weird' as Trent, but, as a community, the RR blog is significantly creepier than C. Trent blog... digital 'cat calls' at CC, or no.
