I didn't even know he was playing still.

Brewers now have more room for Lorenzo Cain, I am fine with it.

I love it General!!!!

We're solid everywhere.

Does this make the Reds the best team in baseball now??

Dickerson is joining the OF rotation when he gets healthy.

The General · 08-09-10, 06:22 PM

He is not going to be an everyday player. He was brought in for post season I think. Now, Reds have to get there.

Washed up guy who can't hit after steroids ban.

The General · 08-09-10, 06:26 PM

he will be good for this young team.

The General · 08-09-10, 06:26 PM

He's coming to bat

good call man .286, 8 homeruns and 20 rbis in part time action

General, he's the starter now, really.

He'll play against RHP, which is most of the time. They'll likely rest him vs. lefties.

Troy Glaus has twice as much homeruns and 3 times more RBI's than him and he is still washed up. So what's your point?

hes a career .285 batter, hes batting .286. His HR production is down a bit but not that much really per at-bat. (1 hr per 20 at bats career, 1 in 30 this year so far)

So really he is not very washed up, in my opinion.

He already is a good player.

Great pick up for the Reds!

If they end up edging out the Cards, I think you can point back to the fact that the Cards did not add a bat before the deadline!

yisman · 08-09-10, 08:54 PM

or you can point to the fact that they traded one of their only good hitters for a journeyman pitcher when they didn't really need one.
