Bonson
Harang
Nix
Gomes
Drew Stumps

But not Darren McFuckfoot

Oh Votto and BP and Rolen and Bruce and Hanigan are no brainers

I was musing on the guys who were either in AAA (Stumpy. Gomes) or sat on the bench even though he was hitting (Nix) and Bronson and Harang (who a lot of RRs want to see traded).

Hell if we could RayMoan I’d take him on for another year too.

Me too, on 2 conditions

1-Less than 3 million dollars

2-Guarantee that he and Hanigan would split time evenly, maybe even skewing towards more PT for Hanigan.

No way both of those conditions will be met though

I don’t think managers or coaches in baseball should wear uniforms like the players. They just look ridiculous. Old men dressing like kids. Wear a baseball cap, fine…

but we paid big bucks for yorman, juan duran and alonso in one year. if nothing else, this oganization has laid out top dollar for development guys.
and there’s no such thing as a can’t-miss prospect, even a no. 1 (back me up, brien taylor), but bryce harper is as can’t-miss as it gets, and i cant believe that we’d steer clear of him just because he’d cost 4 million a year.
i understand sowers leaving a bad taste in fans’ mouths, but he was a no. 20 pick who kinda sucked. a no. 1 pick is a different kind of gamble.
there was taylor, but then again, there were guys like a-rod, griffey and hamilton who were cant-miss top picks who didn’t miss. hobbs took a while, but if the rays would have played it safe and used an option on him his final protected minor league season, tampa probably would have won a world series.

I agree though that they would try and find a way to get a major pick signed, i just think they would draft a guy and then not be able to afford him, not that it would be a total loss if they install a slotting system the yr after. should be interesting to see what they do with their pick next yr.

I wouldn't mind if the Reds lost every game the rest of the way

They’d have the worst mark in franchise history, and maybe….MAYBE….Cast would fire Dusty. If you’re going to suck, suck in a history-making way.

ANd getting Bryce Harper would be a nice bonus, although he seems like a douche.
