Arroyo on Moving Big Contracts

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:51:30 -0500

It sounds like Mark Sheldon had to take a rowboat out to sea to catch up with Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo. Arroyo said that he would be surprised if he were traded this offseason, and offered his reasons why he doesn’t expect any of the big salaried players to be moved: “In my mind, there was no reason to get [Scott] Rolen [in a July 31 trade] if we’re turning around and moving guys without waiting to see what happens [during the season],” Arroyo said. ̶...

Harang and Arroyo: What a Difference a Defense Can Make

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:00:34 -0500

by Al Behrman - AP Bronson Arroyo appreciates the help from his defense, but his mama didn't raise no dummy. View full size photo » Bronson Arroyo led the Reds' starters in wins, ERA, and innings pitched in 2009. Aaron Harang led the Reds in losses and has managed just 12 wins over the last two seasons. What if I told you that the biggest difference between those two pitchers last year was something that is largely out of ...

Trading Brandon Phillips/Bronson Arroyo

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:45:33 -0500

John Fay’s column yesterday was an attempt to list reasons why the Reds shouldn’t trade Brandon Phillips and/or Bronson Arroyo. It’s all based on the premise that the Reds might be able to compete in 2010. Personally, I think that’s silly; I don’t think there’s any way the Reds can compete next year. This is not a good team. So go ahead and trade Phillips and Arroyo, right? Well, I don’t trust the powers that be to get a good return for either guy. Th...

Reds looking to move high salaries? (UPDATED)

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:03:11 -0500

Saw this link on Lance McAlister’s site (don’t know anything about the mlbfanhouse site): The Reds’ need to slash payroll, according to a major league source, could lead them to explore trading second baseman Brandon Phillips as well as right-handers Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harang. Cincinnati’s 2009 payroll was about $71 million. General manager Walt Jocketty said during a break Tuesday at the GM Meetings that he “might” have to move some high-salaried pla...

A Closer Look at Bronson Arroyo's Improvement

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:35:47 -0500

More photos » by Al Behrman - AP Browse more photos » Bronson Arroyo has certainly put up some outstanding numbers in the second half of the season. In his first 17 starts he posted a 5.85 ERA, which wasn't far off from the 6.08 FIP that he put up over the same span. That is to say, he sucked and a lot it was his doing. In the 15 starts since then though, he's posted a sparkling 2.15 ERA in lar...

How good has Bronson Arroyo been?

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:10:54 -0500

I know we were all clamoring for Bronson Arroyo to be traded a couple of months ago, but he’s been pretty darn good (forgive the strong language) since the All-Star break. How good? OMGReds has some numbers. I definitely thought trading Arroyo was the right move at the time, and it still might be the best thing to do in the off-season. With the injury to Edinson Volquez that will likely cause him to miss the entire 2010 season, however, I’m not sure the Reds can afford to trade Ar...

The Cincinnati Enquirer tell us that during spring training Bronson Arroyo lives on his boat, The Nasty Hook. And when he isn’t training, the pitcher finds time to throw wild boat parties that include the one and only Pedro Martinez. The ratio of girls to guys is pretty much the total opposite of every bar in [...]
