The Reds are my local team. I hope to take in the afternoon game on the 20th.

I know he was hurt most of last season but other than that did he have any prior issues? I can't find anything from his time in the minors.

He should not. If he is not producing or is hurt he needs to be replaced or go on IL. Same for Buxton we now have a true replacement CF in Taylor and hiding Buxton at DH is not the answer.

Exactly what I was going to post. Also, give Miranda his shot at 3B if that is the actual plan and see what happens.

It's stupid long. Does he even think he wants to play that many more year? Personally, I'd gone for a shorter contract with higher average, maybe 8 years / $35M for $280M.

He might want it, but my answer would be NO way and NO how to that kind of contract.

I would add too many good players that are healthy.

I wish for a pass. Need pitching, a catcher and possibly a OF/DH.

I doubt either one of Kepler or Kirilloff are tradeable until they are on the field and prove they are healthy. Especially Kirilloff trying to come back from his wrist surgery. Has any athlete actually had this surgery and a successful career afterwards? Kepler needs to earn his position and if Wallner or whomever beats him out in ST so be it.

I live in the Dayton area and was considering doing that also but in the end I couldn't get away.

A few miles Southwest of Freeman? My older brother was the owner's HS classmate. My family farm is 7 1/2 miles straight south of Freeman on US 81. We milked also but I think we maxed out at 30-40. That was one of the reasons I moved on ASAP.

Agreed. He is not the missing piece, just one of many. Gio played SS for the Yankees. He could have held that position down until Lewis was ready giving him all the time he needed to recuperate. I truly hope that Correa turns down every offer the Twins present him.

I've seen numerous posters that want to trade Keppler, not sure what he is worth in trade if anything until he proves he is healthy. My guess is that he is our RF when the season starts and Wallner is in AAA.
