No way.

No way Stubbs makes the first play, and I very much doubt he makes the second one.

SSS i think

or maybe the injuries. relievers are pretty tricky to pin down, since they throw 100 innings over a two year span. but i wouldnt worry about Burton. he has good stuff.

I'm also not watching this game

and don’t know how much to pin on bad defense. But it does seem Burton has been exceedingly hittable this year.

yeah he's not been as sharp this season

but it’s only been like 30 innings. it’s near impossible to say anything about that.

Is Bray back next year? In which case, delete Kip Wells and you’ve got a pretty good bullpen still right? Does Lincoln get released?

by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 10, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Bray had TJ back in May i think (can anyone confirm this?)

so i’d say he should be back by then. Wells will not be around. i think Lincoln is going to have to retire. back surgery is no joke. not that it matters, because he shouldnt be in the majors anyway, but i dont think he’s going to be an option even if the Reds wanted him to be (and they probably do).

I actually learned about it today

I was looking at the Reds’ salary obligations for next year, and after I saw Lincoln down for $2.5 million I went to look up his injury and surgery. I basically thought, “Well, at least it isn’t my $2.5 mil”.

i think if Lincoln ends up not pitching

the Reds can recoup his salary through insurance. so there’s a silver lining.

it really sucks for Lincoln though. as little as he deserved his salary and roster spot, he seemed like a really nice guy. hopefully that 4mil means he wont have to work ever again.
