[King Mayan]

What a man crush you have JJ.

[Br0nxer]

They prob felt he would relapse.

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

[Smoke]

He was shooting up heroin

[Br0nxer]

He was shooting up heroin

jj has to put 30 question marks on the end of his posts to be noticed anymore

sad day

[gummo]

He wanted to be with a manager who would bang 7 gram rocks with him.

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.

[WvGambler]

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.

[yisman]

Because they got Volquez, who was coming off a strong season, and unfortunately they listened to too much jjgold

This guy is the next thing closest to Mickey Mantle.

[jjgold]

If guy did not do drugs after HS he would of been greatest hitter of all times

[Smutbucket]

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.

[jjgold]

Guys jealous

He was always great potential

Number 1 pick in draft...drugs derailed him like 5 years

[thebestthereis]

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.

[Cougar Bait]

Too many whites

Had to diversify

[PaperTrail07]

reds are a bunch of fools...i said it when they made the trade.....they took ALL the risk with ZERO benefits.....if he was gonna F^&** up it woulda been pretty quick...probably in the first season back....they are ******* stupid

[Bcatswin]

jj start another thread like this and i'll smash your bald fuking head in. You obviously don't know shit about the situation so STFU. You are skating on very thin ice guy. You have been warned.

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.

[crustyme]

cincy ran out of coke.

[Bcatswin]

cincy ran out of coke.

Was all cooked down for crack

[jjgold]

Biggest mistake in franchise history

Hamilton in 2 world series already

Cincy never makes right decisions

[freeVICK]

JJ wants to get butt rammed by hamilton. No other way to describe his obsession with the dude

[jjgold]

Some say this guy has Mickey Mantle type skills
Freak of nature

[Bcatswin]

jj quit running your fuking mouth. quit pushing my buttons. It did not work out big deal. Mistakes like this happen all the time. Now let it go damn't!!!!!

[freeVICK]

very good chance hamilton went out to celebrate last night.... relapse?
