you stupid fuck

I don’t miss him. All players with visible tattoos should be traded. They have no place on a team built on tradition.

DJ – Cinci: Is Edinson Volquez for real? Would you rather have him than Hamilton?

Keith Law No, I’d much rather have Hamilton. Volquez has gotten by on stuff, but he doesn’t throw enough strikes and I’m still skeptical about his lack of a good breaking ball.

Frankin(Beans): Refering to your answer on Hamilton vs. Volquez…Isn’t it much harder to find quality pitching esp. in a place like Cincy where free agent pitchers will most likely avoid.

Law Cordero didn’t avoid it. I’d rather have the superstar CF than a #2 starter (and that’s generous to EV), and the attrition risk on pitchers makes it even clearer.

im miss him badly, while we did nee the pitching, we really could have used his 27 rbi’s and his over .300 BA. I still dont know if i would have traded hamilton, while voltron is a stud, i still dont know if you trade away the 5 tool player of hamilton. I wish we could have traded dunn for him (probably wasnt even possible) but an OF of bruce/hamilton/griffey would look amazing. I hope hamilton gets a huge ovation when he returns to play in Cincy. I also hope maybe someday we can get him back.

hamilton hit a grandslam yesterday

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD morning, VIETNAM! Let me get this straight….Hamilton OVER EV? Are you kidding me? EV is filthy, and 24? Get outta here with that weak ass shat.

Remember, I was the leader of the Hobbs bandwagon here. I was driving that cart when it was empty.

The Narron Factor. Johnny Narron was gone once Jerry got canned. Johnny is a necessary part of Hamilton’s stability, to the extent that he had to watch Transformers with Hamilton three times in a row.

That was a detail that led me to believe that without Johnny Narron, Hamilton might relapse. Prior to getting that little bit of color, it had not dawned on me 100% how a cocaine addiction really never “turns off.” I think I kind of had a sense, but that little detail really drove it home for me.

As a result, I think the trade was good for both sides. Because Johnny Narron would not have stayed with the Reds, Hamilton was significantly more risky and therefore significantly less valuable to the Reds than to a team to which Johnny could go as a “special assistant”/babysitter.

I miss Josh Hamilton too, but I think the Josh Hamilton I miss is the one that was playing for Jerry Narron. We would have gotten something different this year because of the management change.

If the alternative was trading Jay Bruce for EV, I would much rather have the package of Dustbag, Jay Bruce and EV than the package of Jerry Morron, Hamilton and EV.

Even without Bruce, I would rather have the package of Dustbag and EV than the package of Jerry Morron and Hamilton.

I realize it’s only 30 PAs but when did Josh learn to hit lefties?

Or is that just something he couldn’t do as a member of the Reds because well, he was a member of the Reds.

And he’s made me give a passing shit about the Rangers. It takes a special player to do that.

Sure, I miss him, but I think that the trade is one of the rare ones that will be beneficial for both teams in a big way. I wish Josh all the best, and am just damn glad that he’s in the American League so we don’t have to face him.

He mans my fantasy outfield. And when I say “mans” I mean he’s the only man in my outfield, next to Vernon Wells, Curtis Granderson, and yes, Adam Dunn.
