I saw Kluber 2 years ago (extensively) in Columbus and wondered if he'd ever make the majors. Amazing where he's at. He's due for a bad outing, hopefully it's tonight.Ironman92;1641274 wrote:Tough ass matchup with Kluber
I say BP will struggle hitting when he comes back and not really help at all.Azubuike24;1641280 wrote:I saw Kluber 2 years ago (extensively) in Columbus and wondered if he'd ever make the majors. Amazing where he's at. He's due for a bad outing, hopefully it's tonight.
Tomorrow, big advantage with Cueto. Wednesday, Latos vs Salazar (funny, I saw them match-up 2 months ago in Columbus).
Reds NEED 3 of 4, at minimum. I still maintain that this team has no chance, given the prognosis on Votto and Phillips. Both won't be back until early September.
I say the same with VOtto. I dont think he will be right until next spring.Ironman92;1641284 wrote:I say BP will struggle hitting when he comes back and not really help at all.
Maybe the question should have been whose contract will be worse.....Bailey, Votto or the ginger?sportchampps;1641291 wrote:The reds can not afford a bad contract like Votto or bailey no cap or not
I was given shit when i said Bailey was not worth the money he was given.Ironman92;1641288 wrote:Which contract will be worse...
Dalton or Homer Bailey?

But yes, baileys not worth that much money. Although I'm glad we have him, he's a good 4/5 in the rotation.
But does that matter?Ironman92;1641410 wrote:But getting paid #1-#2 money....
I was also given shit for saying it. He'll have a pretty good 2nd half like he does every year and people will be back on the "Homer will someday be an ace" bandwagon.like_that;1641387 wrote:I was given shit when i said Bailey was not worth the money he was given.
Because most teams work within a framework of a budget. Most of these owners, if not all, have their real jobs where they made the millions and they keep both separate from one another. Although Castellini, and before him Uncle Carl, were millionaires they dont necessarily take money from one and u se it for the other. Reds work within some sort of budget.SportsAndLady;1641396 wrote:I don't really understand the whole money aspect to baseball players.

Not to me....but the owner isn't going to spend like the Dodgers or Yankees so at some point it has to strap us a bit.SportsAndLady;1641441 wrote:But does that matter?
