I dunno
It’s kind of a tie this season when it comes to baseball disappointments.
And now the Royals are leading by 1 run (on a Mo wild pitch). Justin Christian just got picked off in the bottom of ninth. Arrrghhhh.

im cool with that
but Alonso probably wont even play organized baseball until the fall leagues. so lets move Votto to LF and keep LLM at 1B. he’s made some good catches and would probably hit 30 HRs if he got regular playing time.

I agree....
The season is lost already, we might as well start transitioning Votto into LF as soon as we can. Give him some reg season experience so he has some idea what he’s doing before ST…
And 30 HR should allow for lots of chants of “LLM!!”

Reds also sign 16 year old stud
From Rob Butcher:
The Reds have announced the signing of premier Venezuelan CF Yorman Rodriguez. The high profile, 5-tool player turned 16 years old today.
“Yorman is one of the premier position players in Latin America,” said Reds Senior Director of Scouting Chris Buckley. “In Rodriguez and Juan Duran, we’ve signed 2 of the top players available in that market and consider both to be first-round draft picks. This organization has made great progress in international scouting.”

back to Yonder at 3B for a sec
Alfonso gets a MLB contract?…EdE to Left Field, seems doubtful. He may be gone sooner than later.
It is a ways off but w/out EdE…So that would leave
Dickerson LH
Kepp RH
Bruce LH
BP RH
Alsfonso LH
Votto LH
Patterson (as it stands now) LH
Bako LH
So much for getting a RH hitter with some pop. Although I know the Reds could pul;l something off at the end of the season or before ST but the FA pool in very low. If Alfonso is MLB ready just put him at 1st and see what happens, Votto in left and keep EdE. What’s so wrong about that?

Sure, different scenario,
but I can see Marty saying “I’ve been here longer than you, pal” as he did with Griffey. And I think that set the tone pretty quickly. I know it’s more complicated than that, but Marty’s ‘tude didn’t help.

I miss the '70's w/Marty and Joe
BTW did ALONSO get a MLB contract and if so doesn’t that mean he has to be on the 25 man roster?
You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

No, the 40-man.
I think we overmeet as a society.

he has to be on the 40 man
and is eligible to be designated to the minors for 3 years before being exposed to waivers.

Thanks For the clarification.
He appears like the kind of player who would move rapidly through the minors ala Dunn/Bruce…the sooner the better.

yeah he's supposed to be the most polished
hitter in this year’s draft. i would venture to say he could survive in the majors right now. well, not now. he’s been sitting at home for a few months. but you get what i mean. i have no problem giving him the ML deal.

The Reds
have a space on the 40-man now, and are apparently planning for there to be a lot more at the end of the season.
I suppose it’s good that Pwings didn’t clear waivers, because if he did, the Reds wouldn’t have a roster spot for Alonso.

i nominate you for GM
so our 2010 lineup now looks like this
LF-votto,c-?, 1B-alonso,RF-bruce,CF-stubbs/dickerson,2B-phillips,3B-encarncion,SS-valakia
i dont think moresarco wont be ready by 2010, so i really have no idea who will be our catcher then

Hell yes!
I get off work, come home, go on here to see everyone bitch about not signing Yonder, and find we’ve not only signed him, but Yorman Rodriguez as well. It’s friggin’ sweet to be excited about some facet of this team. I echo all your sentiments. Hurrah!

Dusty is a slippery old fucker
He’s probably selling that new age small ball shit to Uncle Jocko and Big Bob at this very minute. What if Yonder gets the in 2010….Sadly Dustbag will most likely be ‘managing’ the Reds.

well guys,
my plane leaves Sunday Morning for Denver. I’ll be very busy over the next 2 weeks, but maybe I can find enough time to squeeze in a Reds game at Coors, but I doubt it. Hopefully I will score some tickets to see Obama in person. I’ll say hello to Dennis Kucinich for you.

I had to go to a new age funeral today and barely got back in time for the loss. I know you’ll have a helluva time in Colorado…but watch out because the fucking New Agers are all over the place out there with healing baths, wind lessons, inter dimensional spirit guides and their leader the most celibate Grand Phantsom is Dennis fucking Kucinich.

i walked out of my hotel to go to starbucks, and i remember thinking that is a really tall woman with a really short man, wow that man kinda looks like Dennis Kucinich, wow that is Dennis Kucinich. His wife is really hot in person. I said “good morning congressman” and he said “good morning sir”.
