PrintArroyo - will be a test to see him continue healthy
Volquez - I think he could be this teams ace
Cueto - Training wheels are off time for him to really own
Wood - Finally a solid lefty
Leake/bailey - Just like everyone else i am really interested in Bailey next year. Is Leake a one season wonder?
Masset needs to be a big deal in the bullpen as i see him taking over the eight inning from Rhodes.
Chapman as the closer, unless he really earns it this off season.
Knowing that Chapman wont be the closer, I will hope the offense can score 40 runs a game to coco proof the lead

Who is Jesus?

He's kinda like the Phoenix from X-Men.
He came back from the dead and has some neato powers.

Wait, I thought Phoenix was possessed by a crazy alien force.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the kipper-snacks.
wait, Jesus isn't?

I honestly don’t know about Phoenix. I was just being a turd.

Young me cut it out and saved it.
I wasn’t particularly religious, but I liked the Reds attention and the (albeit very mild) do-good message— and I always loved “fractured fairy tale” types of stories. (Please note that I am not calling Jesus a fairy tale.)

im kidding. everyone gets along very well. no one in my family is as evangelical as i was. if i had a time machine and i could go back and show my 15 year old self who he grew up to be, he’d totally plotz.

I suppose
that’s true for most people.
I’m still the atheist I was born and raised as, but my 15-year-old self would never have imagined she would grow up to actually like boring ol’ baseball.

you're right, we should put him at #2.
If we need him on short rest, he can come back in 3 days

Leake's not a one-season wonder.
He’ll be a fine pitcher. Not a top of the rotation guy, but a useful, effective starter. He’ll do nothing but improve.

Hmm, I wish for this:
Cueto
Volquez
Wood
Bailey
Leake/Chapman
assuming no trades are made FOR a pitcher
This time last year I was pining for Brandon Webb in Cincinnati Red come 2011.
Now… meh.
by the finest muffins on Nov 10, 2010 7:29 PM EST up reply actions
oh man, me too
his injury has just lingered and lingered though. I’d love a healthy Webb at the top of our rotation though.
he's maxing out at like 86 mph from what i've heard
I’ll pass, unless it’s like a $1M base with a shit ton of incentives
i think he's looking at more like
a $5-8 mil base, plus tons of incentives. i think a team like the Yankees, with ??? in the rotation and a shiny new nickel they’re just itchin’ the spend, is more likely to get him.
"Bronson Arroyo texted me from the high seas"
by Charlie Scrabbles on Nov 11, 2010 6:17 PM EST up reply actions
that demand sucks
pitchers like him use to be nice gambles for small market teams. He would get a relatively small contract, if it works out a small market team gets a year of a good starter, and he gets his career back on the rails and hits the market again.
