Cobb Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't understand why the Reds would do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wow Rolen For Edwin Encarnacion and player to be named later. This deal makes no sense for the Reds. They are buyers all of a sudden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Bad move giving up on Encarnacion. Guy has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I really like the Hairston acquisition. He can play all outfield and infield positions, he has speed, and he gives more options for Girardi when it comes to the bench. Now, we have Hinske (power, outfield), Hairston (speed, defensive substituting), Molina (catching), Ransom/Pena (utility infield), and Gardner when he comes back (speed).
