Weathers Accepts Arb Offer By Tim Dierkes [December 7, 2008 at 11:26pm CST]

According to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reliever David Weathers accepted the Reds' offer of arbitration. He's Reds property for '09 now, and he'll get a raise beyond this year's $2.75MM salary. only him and darren oliver accepted their teams arbitration offers.

also gerald laird has been traded to the detriot tigers according to mlbtraderumors http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/rangers-tigers.html

i for one am glad that this rumor about him coming to the reds is now done, i think that the reds have bigger needs than catcher and i want to see what ryan hanigan can do as a starting catcher.

Real quick note

Thanks for posting this, but everybody please check the other FanPosts™ before posting. Charlie Scrabbles had another post almost identical to this one (even in paragraph structure) that was posted an hour before this one. I deleted Chuck’s because his didn’t have any comments in it. This isn’t just you, ROH. It’s just that time of year where news comes quickly and people fail to check to see if something has been talked about yet before posting. We’d to avoid duplicates so that conversations don’t get fragmented.

Anyway, meet the new Reds, same as the old…screw it, I’ve got better things to do with my time.

Why have I been blogging for so long? It's certainly not because of the paycheck. Because I could be making a lot more money as a doctor or a professional athlete.

They’re signing Dunn this week? Cool!

that would probably keep them from trading Bailey for Dye.

If that meant

that they would be getting a break in signing him for slightly smaller cash, I say bring back Dunn and let the whining commence.

Or, for fun, sign both Dunn AND Burrell and play them in alternating days in CF, just for the adventure!

I wonder if Tackleberry

accepted arb. because he thought that a 2-year deal wasn’t in the offing. Strange either way.

i guess this isn't terrible

since he won’t make that much, and he may drop off, but he will still probably be a solid middle reliever, and it isn’t as if he is expected to close or pitch the 8th inning, with Burton and Coco. Plus he has veteran presence, which is good, because if he didn’t have veteran presence it would be like he wasn’t even there.
