This guy hates Homer Bailey

Encarnacion tendered, Belisle, Majewski not

No real surprise on Edwin getting tendered a contract Walt seems to be high on the guy from the sound of interviews. Majewski sucks, but Belisle was a 50/50 thing in most peoples eyes. I think he can be a decent pitcher if he goes to the NL West. Maybe the Dodgers give him a look,...

Weathers accepts arbitration

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...

The Reds almost traded for Crisp

Straight from Walt Jocketty's mouth via John Fay: "We were close," he said. "I thought we had a shot. Obviously, it didn't happen." I can't make up my mind if Coco Crisp would have been a good addition or not. Rumors of him being a clubhouse cancer,...

Votto finishes 2nd in ROY voting

Not really a surprise, but worth mentioning. I honestly think he should have won it because he is cute and doesn't have a terrible mustache like Geovanny Soto. ESPN: Soto, the steady catcher who helped the Cubs win the NL Central title, got 31 of 32 first-place votes. The other...
