Kip Wells is gone! The sky is falling!
Wells is the only Red to file for free agency, but the Reds still have some decisions to make. They’ve already made the questionable decision to bring back Ramon Hernandez. Next up: Jonny Gomes and Laynce Nix.

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.

I’ve mentioned it here before, and I’ll mention it again (I’m sure), but Barry Larkin is my favorite Red of all time. I think he needs to be brought back to the Reds in some capacity (Manager? George Grande’s replacement on the television broadcasts?), and we...
