El Sombrerador is back!
John Fay is reporting that Jonny Gomes and the Reds have reached an agreement. No word on whether it's a minor league deal, though I imagine it is. Based on what Gomes did last year, he deserves a major league roster spot. Based on the Reds' best interests, they should have offered him a minor league contract with a chance to win a spot in spring training.
UPDATE: Jerry Crasnick is reporting it's a 1 year MLB deal with an option year. If the Reds decline the option, Gomes is still eligible for arbitration.
FURTHER UPDATE: Marc Sheldon is saying it's a minor league deal, per Walt Jocketty.
BIG LEAGUE UPDATE: Sheldon recants his story (well, Walt heard him incorrectly). It's a big league deal.
€€€€ UDATE: The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Gomes's deal is for $800,000.

You think so?
I spent 6 months living in Puebla (the city famous for mole) but I never could develop the taste for it. When I’m there this next week, I’ll try again.

I personally love it.
The spicy sweet, somewhat, but not quite, like Skyline, really hits the spot.
I’m headed to Mexico City in a month, can’t wait for the food. Chorizo and eggs in a tortilla. Also really good.

Have you been to
Cafe Tacuba and the Sanborns in the historic center of town? That Sanborns is literally sinking into the Aztec city that the colonial city while the ruins of the Aztec city sink into the swamp that it was built upon, and Cafe Tacuba is also an incredibly beautiful old restaurant with top notch food.

I've been by the Cafe Tacuba, but didn't eat there.
It looked too expensive for my poor self. I did go to that Sanborns though. The whole structure of Mexico City is incredible. It’s a shame that unless they do some major, major work, that city is literally going to fall apart.

I couldn't justify spending that much on food on my measly stipend.

I don’t think he’s the best man for the LF job this year, but I’m a big fan. There’s nothing wrong with keeping everyone down in L-ville a little longer. If Gomes does make the team, I’m pretty curious to see how playing time would shake out between Wlad, Dickerson and Gomes. Assuming Gomes locks up starts against lefties, it all hinges on how Wlad plays in spring.

by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Feb 22, 2010 1:42 PM EST reply actions
Yeah, this is big news for Wlad
He’s out of options, so he’s basically got to win his spot outright in spring training. I’m fine if he makes the team ahead of Gomes (he’s a pretty similar player, and I like his nickname better), but my hope is that Gomes will really push him to improve his game and vice versa.

I just knew that I would now be having train sex with a very odd broad in no time. I didn’t expect the bitch to shoot me though. (Pops Daniels)
So the outfielder will be
Bruce, Stubbs, Gomes, Dickerson, and Balentin. Heisley is in AAA. I like this actually, if Stubbs fails the Reds can pencil Dickerson into center field.
This makes losing the T-virus all the better.
Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.
To me that's the ideal OF, esp. if Wlad wins the everyday LF spot
that way you have a good lefty and righty on the bench, and Dickerson makes a great 4th OF.
Even if they platoon Dickerson with someone in LF, this is still a very good OF, especially compared to last year.

Major league deal
no other move yet. I’m trying to find out if they can move Volquez to the 60-day DL yet.

According to Fya, that's what they're doing.
He and the Reds have agreed to a major league deal. Edinson Volquez will go on the 60-day disabled list to make room on the 40-man roster for Gomes.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.

I think it's an improvement
provided he’s used correctly. This pretty much seals Heisey’s fate in AAA to start the season. Discounting the very outside chance that Wlad doesn’t make the team, the only real roster competition is going to be fifth starter/last spot in the bullpen and between Sutton, Miles and a couple other longshot bench guys. I’d say we pretty much know the opening day roster, aside from whether they have the stomach to DFA Miles.

I still think there's a question as to who starts in LF

Why not let Nix go around the International League?
if the Reds need a stop gap later in the season due to injuries they have him in AAA.
I’ve noticed a tendency to want to want to cut a whole bunch of players in spring training, but Nix is a suitable stop gap. He is a much better option than having to scramble for the Buck Coats of the world in September if the team is hit by a rash of injuries.

We have plenty of options for LF, and it’s not like Gomes is ridiculously better than our in-house options. If he was the clear cut best player, then we would have re-signed him rather than non-tendering him.
This move just puzzles the Hell out of me.

I've spent weeks
reading how important it was for the Reds to sign this guy. It went on and on and on how we needed this guy so bad.
Just trying to get my facts in a row here.
I always knew I had my own dimension of thought on this sport that seemed to make sense. As years go by, I am more convinced than ever that I was correct on it.

I liked Hugs
He gave a pretty interesting talk at the Cincinnati Rotary Club when he was coach at UC. The Rotary Club is a well meaning group of business men and women who do do good things in the community, however it is populated mostly with conservative old white businessmen. After the talk one of our members asked during Q & A why “Coach why do you bring in so many thugs and players of questionable moral value?”
Huggins got very serious and said something like " I played at WVU with guys who had nothing all their lives going for them but sports.I saw first hand what a positive change it could be in a person’s life to be involved with a team, with personal discipline and to learn to win and lose graciously.When I became a coach I naturally migrated towards players who had both great basketball potential and who needed to learn discipline. Sure some of the guys I’ve brought in didn’t work out but when I look at the guys who made the difficult transformation from your term of thug to a young man who is ready to be a contributing member of society I felt even more committed, plus these kids can play ball with the best of them. I just did not see anyone else reaching out for these guys and now many of them are reaching out into their communities too.I am proud of my record" He then listed off about a dozen players who he felt he had helped.
I could not help but think that he was sincerely committed to this course of action. Is he a great coach – no…is he pretty flawed himself…yes…but I have this soft spot for old Hugs even though he is a terrbile dresser.

Huggins, included, exploited the playgrounds for basketball teams that contributed to their own tiny group’s well-being. The first to milk that cow was Al McGuire, who got off looking like a good guy because he could recruit kids whose objective in life was not to go to class.
So anything I read about the philanthropy of Bob Huggins and the others like him, well la-de-frickin’-da.
But if Huggins has convinced the Rotary, well, that’s half the battle.

This is my other brother Daryl
From the Baseball America transaction report: the Reds have signed Daryl Harang. Yup, it’s Aaron’s younger, smaller, left-handed brother. I remember him because Bubba Crosby faced him on a rehab assignment in A-ball once. (The result: clutch hit by pitch. The Tampa Yankees win!)
BA says:
The younger brother of Reds’ workhorse (and fellow San Diego State product) Aaron Harang, Daryl pitched for York in the Atlantic League last year, going 10-12, 4.08 in 23 starts plus another 10 relief outings. The 27-year-old sported a 85-to-45 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 154 innings. The Blue Jays made Harang a 23rd-round pick in ’04 but then released him during spring training last year.
Also, Robert Manuel has been outrighted to Triple A by the Sox. How’d he end up with the Sox? We traded him to Seattle for Wladdy. The Sox claimed him off waivers in November. They DFA’d him, he cleared waivers, and now it’s off to scenic Pawtucket.

I just wonder why boobs disagrees.

just show some unity behind the team
Actually I think we have 3 GM’s to thank, we have O’Brien, Krivsky, and Jockety. O’Brien started to rebuild this franchise, Bailey and Bruce went a long way towards rejuvenating the farm system. Also don’t forget the combination of Kullman and Maddox got us Harang.
Plus while Krvisky did make some idiotic decisions about the big league roster, he oversaw the continued maturation of the farm, and didn’t foolishly trade away any major pieces of the farm for a quick fix. Plus Arroyo and Phillips have also given this team a real shot in the arm. Plus he oversaw the continued growth of Latin scouting.
Finally Walt is here to put the finishing touches on. He has done a splendid job this off season, plus Leake, Boxberger, Alsono, and Chapman, are all big keys to future.
Lets remember when DanO took over after 2003 the shelves were bare. The opening day 2004 rotation was Wilson, Accevado, Haynes, Lidle, and Harang. So it was Harang and 4 scrubs. Now we have several impact players about to make an impact on the major league roster and a minor league system filled with B grade prospects who can help the major league team. We even have potential replacements for Harang and Arroyo as they depart after this year and/or next year.
It has been a long rebuilding process but our time is now.
Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.

Count me in.
Sure there’s some problems but indeed there is a core of youngs guys, a few vets who still have some gas and an acceptable pitching staff. A lot better than when coach Narron was running the show.

could "then" be used

I rekkin I will throw in a thought
Part of the difficulty in building a team during the first part of this century is that the folly of the numbers was off the charts. You had guys like Palmiero and Sosa and B*nds.
What we call this, is … deception. A lot of what this also means is that if you were a GM in around 2003, trying to build a team, well … HOW?
This could lead to a completely different conversation and frankly, that would be all right with me, But the steroids era did more than anything to define the small market franchises because when the dust settled, the only guys we could afford were the ones who weren’t using.
Or had no talent to begin with.
The teams that had the juicers built the bigger fan bases and attracted the most revenue. Hence, the Cubs have a much more impressive product than they truthfully ever deserved.
Did I skewer the point? I hope not.

Booney retires, going to ESPN
Aaron Boone today formally announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after a 12-year career and his new role as an ESPN baseball analyst. Boone will mainly be seen on Baseball Tonight (debuting in March), in addition to select appearances as a game analyst. He worked for ESPN Radio as a guest analyst during the 2009 National League Division Series.

so theyve finally found a test for HGH. Does baseball still have stores of players’ urine samples, or blood samples, or sperm samples or something?

There's some good news, and some bad news....
The “cheapest” membership is $875 initiation fee, plus a $625 refundable membership bond, plus $700 for 2009/2010 dues. I cannot figure out if the $250 application fee gets rolled into one of those numbers or not.
They have some “affordable” lifetime memberships, which have initiation fees ranging from $23,750 to $98,750, not including the refundable membership bond of $1,250, but the upside is there is no annual fee.
Bargain!
