Lol, fair enough

But anyway, I kind of hope Hamilton doesn't start up in the majors this next season, for the first few weeks anyway. I want to see him in Louisville before he heads up there o.o

I wouldn't expect him up before September. I don't care if he spends much time at all in Louisville, but he has a lot of work to do in AA

I'd like to see Sim's opinion on this, but if they are trying to snag a closer to move Chapman to the rotation, wouldn't Joakim Soria and Madson be big risks? Isn't it really hard to get command back after having TJ surgery? Especially since Soria's had two of them.

Valdez and Bray become free agents.

Jocketty discusses trading Cozart or Didi Gregorius. Big market for SS right now. Could help get a late inning reliever or OF who can bat leadoff.

Jay Bruce and his agent have approached the Reds about another extension. Bruce wants to finish his career in Cincinnati.

Reds sign Todd Redmond to major league contract. He is only pitcher outside of 5 man rotation to make a start. League minimum.

Reds are also negotiating a deal with Johnathan Broxton for at least 3 years (If it gets Chapman in rotation, I'm okay with it, grudgingly).

That means that the Reds are almost sure to deal a starting pitcher (assumedly Mike Leake or, God forbid, my man-crush, Homer Bailey).

Things are interesting in Reds country.

Edit:

Oh lawd dat rotation: Cueto, Latos, Chapman, Arroyo, Bailey

We should get a JSP outing together and make Numone come as long as he doesn't wear Tigers shit.

if they aren't playing the tigers i would wear my bruce shirtsey

That would be kind of weird, all you people are a bit older than me, I'm assuming.
