Okay, admittedly I got carried away with the headline. David Weathers is no longer a Red, and he certainly had some good moments for our favorite team, so I guess I can start typing his full name out again. Anyway, some items in the news: –The Reds received an undisclosed amount of cash from the Brewers to complete the Aug. 9 trade for Weathers. My sources indicate the amount was $17.42, and Walt Jocketty has already spent it all at Skyline. –Our buddy Shawn has relocated his Cinc...

Moving Dave Weathers

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:00:10 -0500

Two days after being acquired in exchange for the always-nebulous Player To Be Named Later, veteran reliever Dave Weathers will suit up tonight for his first game as a Brewer in over eight years. His previous stint with the team ended when he was traded with minor leaguer Robert Miniel to Chicago for Ruben Quevedo and Pete Zoccolillo. Since this is his twelfth stop among nine major league franchises, Weathers is no stranger to calling a new clubhouse home. His family, however, is not, as ...

Chris Smith to Nashville to make room for David Weathers He was doing a lot better lately - didn't allow a run in his last four appearances - but oh well. I'm sure we will see him again in September.

Trades Can Hurt

The Reds traded David Weathers to Milwaukee Sunday, and David wasn’t happy: “Walt Jocketty isn’t the most popular guy with my son right now,” he said. You tend to forget the human element when a trade happens. Sunday’s trade took Weathers completely by surprise. His family is home in Tennessee — two of his three kids have [...]

Weathers signs

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:51:27 -0500

Before my power goes out again here is the news of the day.

David Weathers avoided arbitration and signed a 1 year deal with a team option for 2010. The money breaks down like this

2009: $3.5 million
2010: $3.7 million or $400,000 buyout

Solid deal for the Reds and Weathers. He some how continues to get people out with the biggest skill of all grittiness.

Weathers accepts arbitration

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:59:37 -0500

John Fay:
Right-hander David Weathers accepted arbitration. That means he goes on the 40-man roster. With the year he had last year, my guess is he'll get between $3 and $4 million in arbitration.
I was hoping he would not take it so the Reds would get the extra pick. How un-David Weathers like. He normally scares us to death loads the bases then pulls out some crap to get out of a jam. This time he totally blew it for us.

Griffey Throws A Throat Slash Gesture At Reds' Announcer Jeff Brantley

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:10:09 -0500

Jeff Brantley hasn't been making many friends in the Reds clubhouse this year and it appears that players are fed up with him. So much so that the level headed Ken Griffey Jr gestured to him with a throat slash following a homerun on Saturday night. Here's the background and the video (:30 mark as he enters the dugout).... CINCINNATI ? For those who read Ken Griffey Jr.'s lips after his home run Saturday night and saw him make the throat-cutting gesture at home plate, the antics w...
