Reds acquire Corky Miller for Norris Hopper
Reds acquired from the White Sox C Corky Miller for OF Norris Hopper. Miller will report to Louisville. Does this make room at AAA for Chris Heisey? AAA needed a catcher after Wilkin Castillo went down.

im not sure i understand this at all
if they just needed a warm body to catch in AAA, isnt Javy Valentin a free agent? im not exactly attached to Hopper as a prospect, but it strikes me as strange to trade something of actual value (even if it’s very little value) for something of absolutely no value. whatever.

Or they could just be freeing up an outfield spot for one of the AA guys
If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.
yeah
after reading what i said, i think i came off as more angry than i am. im totally ambivalent to the loss of Hopper and i hope it really is seen as a way to get someone like Frazier or Heisey up to AAA. but honestly i would rather they DFA McDonald or Hopper than trade one for someone like Corky Miller. it’s just embarrassing.

maybe LLM doesn't want to go to AAA?

Perfect time to break this out again
I saw Corky Miller on Opening Day, I was all excited. The dollar concessions booth:

This actually made me smile
I can’t imagine anyone I would rather have as catching chaff than Corky Miller. Do they need Jason Romano as a middle infielder?
The Reds needed a veteran catcher in the minors.
Corky will be used strictly as a guy to help bring along AAA pitchers. Even the Reds wouldn’t mess around with ever having him on the 25-man. I think it also means the Reds consider Hanigan a major leaguer for good now.
That was exactly what I thought when I heard about the trade.
I think it’s a good idea to have a veteran catcher to handle our young pitchers – Corky is our Crash Davis dammit!
Also, if Hernandez or Hanigan gets injured, at least we have a warm body down in the minors – not that it would be a good warm body.

If Hernandez or Hanigan gets injured, we have Wilkin

No Wilkin

Forgot about that, or totally missed it
Aw, I inexplicably like Wilkin.

Are you really mediocre at 8 different things too?
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?

Maybe getting rid of NoHo opens an OF spot in Louisville for Taveras
Stubbs grabs 75N while Willy takes 75S.

Wily is here for the duration
or at least until the Reds are way way out of the chase. All it takes is an occasional night like last night where he produced both offensively and defensively to allow him to hang on to his faux tenure.

Wait, if Willy takes 75S he will end up in Lexington,
and eventually the Everglades.
Nevermind – forget I said anything. 75S it is!
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
It helps that you are a giant red cuddly monster

so you want to trade Willy to the Astro's
and see him demoted to A ball, works for me.

Needs to be the Meadowlands.

Also if Willy is grabbing 75S...
he’d be on his way to Sarasota. 71S to Louisville.
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
Technically, he's right
To get to L’Ville you have to take 75S until 71S splits off just south of Richwood. :)

Did I read in the game thread you are coming into town?
Maybe we can consummate this affair of the heart.

No shit?
Must have missed that somehow. Email me or something, you need to hit Terry’s at the very least.

clear your schedules. We're going to the game that night

Need a head count though
Most I can do is probably six.

Adios, NoHo
Best of luck with your new team.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I was always meh on Noho...
didn’t love him, but didn’t hate him…
but think of all the money we would have saved with him instead on T-virus
( that is if we must have a CF who can’t hit the ball out of the infield )
at least Noho could bunt his way on fairly regularly
