Believe it or not the Reds couldn't pull off a deal with Bobby Abreu (they weren't trying), but the Angels could! Same Angels who have about $45 million invested in 4 outfielders already.
With Abreu signing for $5 million plus incentives I have to keep goin back to amount of money wasted by the Reds just this off season.
David Weathers $3.5 Million
Willy Taveras $2.25 Million
Jerry Hairston Jr. $2 million
Mike Lincoln $1.5 million
Arthur Rhodes could be on that list with $2 million also, but if used correctly and is productive when used correctly he is going to be fine.
I keep hearing about how great a GM Walt Jocketty is, but I'm just not seeing it. Now maybe if this is a part of a plan to have the Reds be so bad that they have no option but to fire Dusty Baker that would be great, but we all know Dusty will blame it on not having the true slugging outfielder that he pretty much despises, and that will deflect the attention off him and won't get him fired.
Then, he and, I but, we or, the sentence long
