Reds tidbits 2015 (morgue)

Reds have deal in place for Marlon Byrd

Looks like the Reds have their new left fielder. Marlon Byrd is going to be traded to the Reds from the Phillies, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. In return, the Phillies will get at least minor-league pitcher Ben Lively while also sending some cash to the Reds. To this point, it's unclear if the Reds will trade more than Lively or if it's just one for one.

Byrd, 37, will make $8 million this coming season and has a vesting option -- that will trigger if he gets 550 plate appearances in 2015 -- for $8 million in 2016. For the Phillies last season, Byrd hit .264/.312/.445 (110 OPS+) with 28 doubles, 25 homers and 85 RBI.

Lively, 22, made 13 starts in High-A and 13 in Double-A. Overall, he was 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 171 strikeouts in 151 innings. He was a fourth-round pick out of the University of Central Florida in 2013.

Jesus Mary jumping fucking Christ


You mean the same Marlon Byrd that he could have had off the waiver wire two years ago if he had set his alarm properly?

Now you give up actual talent for him?

It's hard to be worse at your job than I think a Reds employee is capable of but even I am shocked by this display of ineptitude.

Holy fuck

Many quotes flying around from Walt and Price about Byrd's clubhouse presence and helping to build a professional culture.

Who knew that Willie Mayes Hayes, Gizmo and Olaf weren't great clubhouse guys/leaders?

Hot dogs, fruits and retards...all we need now is a girl.

Ok, well lets face it. This isn't the worst thing we've seen these fuckheads do.

Might as well have some fun with it, time to name this cocksucker;

Fluffy backed tit babbler
Agile tit tyrant
the great tit
steamerduck
dickcissel
scaly throated leaftosser
obscure berrypecker
Brown Booby
Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker
Clark's Nutcracker
Bushtit
American Woodcock
Hairy Woodpecker
Smooth-Billed Anis
Chukar
Brown Creeper
Limpkin
Hoary Redpoll
Welcome Swallow


There is also a bird called a blackcock but we'd probably get in trouble with that one

just some initial ideas.

Bolded are the ones on my life list. Not too shabby.

Because he is migrating to Cincinnati, my vote is that we just call him Robin (scientific name: turdus migratorius)

Pretty sure they've been trying to trade for Byrd since Jim Bowden was in charge. The poor bastard finally sunk to their level. At least the Reds didn't give up any actual talent since they never had any to lose.
