    pretty sure this is correct

    it was his 1st year back in baseball and his value was sky-high from playing well

    probably weren't sure if he could maintain his sobriety

    i'll tell exactly why cincy traded that clown. He would get in early and take the couch and t.v. refusing to be part of the team. When the rest of the team was taking outfield practice ; his ass was in the clubhouse. Also he had his a.a. adviser in the clubhouse with him on a regular basis. guys like drinking beer and talking about ass. this blow hard had his preacher or a.a. adviser in the clubhouse. I used to stick up for him but my buddies kid works in the clubhouse and he told me this.

    Because he was a train wreck. In all honesty, they were right for doing it. The fact that he got his life together and could still play on this level when he was a full blown crack addict is a once in a lifetime turnaround. His story is really quite amazing.

    what are you talking about this is a great story? this is obviously a case of PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT! Using crack for years gives you extremely good handeye coordination and focus. even though he stopped his body uses muscle memory from the crack days and makes him, stronger, faster, more coordinated.....

    Is that possible? Jason Williams from NBA ("White Chocolate") used to claim that pot-smoking gave him a view into the fourth dimension. Saw passing angles that weren't there otherwise.

    You have Votto in the pipeline and this team needed to whip up a $250 million dollar contract to somebody, much better for the Reds. You have to spend to win.

    Which made him how old you bald prick? You waste money on him or your young talent all around the farm system. We are the only one's who even took a waver on him in the 1st place or he would have never been playing.
