Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

[Bucknut24]

Walt knows Massett's coming back off the DL soon, right?

Is Rosenthal sniffing glue? This makes absolute zero sense.

? Not like he said it was a good trade

 

[DaBears]

Broxton makes no sense, washed up and overpaid

Start printing [strike]World Series[/strike] buffet tickets!

Oh sweet ... it gets better. Broxton isn't signed past this season, so he's a two month rental!

Don't the Reds already have the most ridiculous closer in MLB, plus another $8M tied up in another one that hasn't thrown a pitch all season?

Broxton stats this year are good, so if he keeps it up then I'm very pleased. Arredondo just scares the shit out of me when he comes in. If Jose can't get his splitter to work he has almost no shot at getting anyone out.

Brox thanks the good people of KansasTown. You were so nice to ol Broxy. Sorry for eating all the BBQ that one time. And that other time


I'm sure Skyline is excited

What the heck is goin on around here lol? #bogus

 

[jlb1705]

Wonderful.

They'll have to call him at the Boathouse before the end of the 4th inning so they can put him on a barge and float his ass downstream in time to get the last out in the eighth.

does cinci have one big enough to fit him?

To be fair... Name a right-handed Reds reliever you trust in a high-leverage situation.

That's the reason for this deal, though I'm not at all convinced that Broxton is the correct answer.

SIPA, Lyle Overbay = Championships (I am following the Reds because, well, the Indians are trading Sizemore to the 15 day DL for a guy on the 60 day DL and a limpdick to be named later)

That's all fine and dandy, but then why the fuck wouldn't they have traded Ondrusek for Victorino?

I'd never heard of the guy. Reading his twitter feed......you'd think the guy just chews on lead pain chips all day long.
