Date :   3/10/05, 2:20pm I really think that the Reds should trade Wily Mo or Ryan Freel for a solid starter.When Paul Wilson is your pitching ace, you really have to find somebody else.It seems ridiculous to me that guys like Wily Mo, Austin Kearns, and Ryan Freel have to fight for a starting position spot when they would all be welcome starters on just about any other team. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #754 • Back to Topics 6088 reads

Just have to toot my own horn (or did I start the rumor?): This, from sportsline.com's rumor mill: With Austin Kearns hitting up a storm and clearly moving ahead in the battle for Cincinnati's right field job, there are rumblings that the Reds might deal away Wily Mo Pena to get a starting pitcher, reports the Dayton Daily News. Damn, I'm good. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #805 • Back to Topics 6087 reads This message has been added to these BGEEKS Blogs: Diary of A Baseball Geek

Message #822 of 6634  *NEW* To :   Reedster From :   The Toaster   Subject :   Re: Cincinnati Reds 2005 Preview: Same Griffey Question Mark, but what to do with Wily Mo? Date :   3/16/05, 5:53pm A couple problems with this theory: the probability of Griffey or Kearns getting hurt during the season is pretty much 100%. They need Wily Mo around to plug in when one of them get hurt. And I love the way Ryan Freel plays, but I think he played over his head last year and doesn't have nearly the upside of Pena. Also Pena is only 24 and is only going to get better.I agree that the pitching staff sucks - Wilson was probably a fluke last year - but who could they really get for Pena right now anyway? • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #822 • Back to Topics 6081 reads

Date :   3/16/05, 9:23pm I agree! Wily Mo Pena should be starting in that Reds outfield. He is only going to get better & he would be a waste on the bench. He has a lot of upside right now. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #824 • Back to Topics 6081 reads
