Cincinnati Reds

Well it seems as though the "Devil" in Devil Rays has officially been exorcised.  The Rays win their first playoff game in franchise history on the shoulders of rookie Evan Longoria.

It's my opinion that the Reds don't think about what they are doing when they trade away a player. So far I have agreed with most of the trades they have done. Especially the Griffey trade. I know most Reds fans adore Ken Griffey, but I think it was a good idea at first, but when we finally got him he was injury prone and wasn't that great of a player. Yeah I know what your saying, he is a future hall of famer, but come on the money we were paying him could of got us a good pitcher and we all know that is what the Reds need to be sucessful!!! The one trade I didn't like was Josh Hamilton. He was an excellent player and got even better at the Rangers. If we kept him we could have been a little better than what we are now. Now I wasn't a big fan of Adam Dunn, but he was a decent player. Now the next year we would not be able to aford him, but I don't think we got anything good out of the deal. But now that we have gotten rid of Dunn and Griffey. I think the Reds can focus on more important thinks like pitchers. With our very young team I think we can have a good chance to go somewhere next year.

Let’s begin with the Cincinnati Reds.  This team continues to sputter along and I just don’t understand it.  They are at a very in between stage right now and are not making a move one-way or the other.  This team has some wonderful pieces in place.  Brandon Phillips is a stud at second base, Adam Dunn can hit 40 homers, Ryan Freel is a spark plug and Ken Griffey Jr. can still play a little bit.  Aaron Harang is a top-notch pitcher who has continued to stay under the radar somehow and Bronson Arroyo can win some games.  Chad Cordero is a very productive closer and they have a solid bullpen other than him.  But then they sit around and play people like Scott Hatteberg, Alex Gonzalez and Edwin Encarnacion.  I don’t get it, either sell high on your studs and get some prospects and more young players or you go out and spend the money and really make your team a contender.  I don’t get it; they have had this core of players for a few years now and have done nothing with it.  Boggles my mind, I guess that’s why they are the
