myk13 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Too bad they're barely winning the worst division in baseball if you take the last place team in the NL west, they would be in 2nd in the NL east. People only say the west was weak based on last season where a lot of teams have had injuries. People only say its weak because theres is not one team that has ran away with the division. For the most part of the season, every single team has been above 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastflink2009 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ya because every team is as good as eachother so they constantly are beating eachother, but none of the teams are that good compared to any AL teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastflink2009 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 are you going to do the national/reds trade in real life? Probably not because I think it was the dumbest trade ever, so I don't think I will but any other trades the Reds make that are not stupid i will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastflink2009 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Don't worry I won't, and actually the Rangers offered me a trade for one of their great prospects who they placed on the trading blcok, Edinson Volquez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I would go get him. Teams seem to put top prospects on the trading block too much. What was the trade offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's because the CPU places their top AAA starters in the bullpen in the majors as long men and they don't play much and then after they complain about playing time they get placed on the block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastflink2009 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Breaking News out of Cincinnati The Reds placed Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteberg on the trading block and within an hour, 2 trades have been offered to the Reds. One involving Prince Fielder for Adam Dunn and a player to be named later, and another involving CF Adam Jones of the Seattle Mariners for Scott Hatteberg. The Reds GM, Harold Reynolds, has been thinking about whether or not he should accept these trades, should he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastflink2009 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 They actually give you trade offers? Wow.. I never get any for anyone I place on the block Yeah I'm suprised too, I guess there are alot of unhappy players in my dynasty. I put Adam Dunn on the trading block b/c he was unhappy and then after the next game a trade offer popped up. I don't know what has changed in my dynasty, :?

myk13 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 i would do the Hatteberg for Adam Jones trade, i dont think i would do the Dunn one. Especially if you plan on going more then 1 year, Jones can later replace Griffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you plan on going more then 1 year, Jones can later replace Griffey Ya, but then who would replace hatteberg at 1st? Prince Fielder, so I was thinking I should do both of them but I'm not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk13 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 i keep thinking hatteberg is a C ...... cant' dunn play first ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastflink2009 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 i keep thinking hatteberg is a C ...... cant' dunn play first ? Yes, but he sucks at it, I tried it before, with freel in LF and dunn at 1st instead of hatteberg, and he made at least 2 errors. So I think I'm gonna take the trade, plus Fielder will be better in 1 season than Dunn probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastflink2009 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 June 2nd, 2006 Game Preview: Chris Young Young, who has been the Reds most consistent pitcher this year, makes an important start against the Astros tonight. With the Reds neck and neck with the Cubs for the division lead, it is crucial that the Reds can keep winning until the Cubs fall back a few games. Young battles tonight against a potent Astros lineup that has the speed to win a ballgame just on the basepaths. Young must try and speed his delivery up with runners on base otherwise the Astros will be running wild tonight. Taylor Buchholz Buchholz has been an interesting pitcher this year. With an era close to 3, he is doing good with giving up few runs, yet he is 2 and 3. Somedays he comes out with a vengence against the other team and pitches great, but other days he can't seem to get through the 4th inning. He must have a winning mindset tonight, otherwise the young, but dangerous, Reds lineup will walk all over him. The reason Buchholz isn't a great Major League pitcher is because of his inconsistentcy. This is what separates good pitchers and great pitchers. If he wants to be a great pitcher he must prove to everyone that he can win every night and when else would be a better time than against the division leading Reds.

Fastflink2009 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Reds Edge Out Astros for Win Scoring: T2: Edwin Encarnacion hits a solo shot - Reds lead 1-0 B2: Preston Wilson answers with a solo HR - Game Tied 1-1 T6: Joe Mauer hits an RBI single - Reds lead 2-1 T6: Nick Markakis knock in 2 runs with a single - Reds lead 4-1 B9: Lance Berkman hits a 2-run HR - Reds lead 4-3 Click Here For Box Score John Kruk's Game Analysis "This was a great game, both to watch, and for the players to play. This game came down to the last swing but the Astros just couldn't complete the comeback. The Reds had a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the 9th, Chris Young was pulled for the closer, Todd Coffey, and things almost spiraled out of control. Coffey quickly let a man on base and then Berkman jacked a homerun to bring the game within one. However Ryan Wagner was then put into the game after Coffey had two outs, and he quickly finished off the 'stros. I loved the intensity Chris Young came out with. He dominated the game even though he gave up a homerun, it barely went out of the short porch in left. The Reds have a Cy Young candidate on their hands and his name is Chris Young."
