Seeking6 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Phillies are a team I'm going to be cheering for. Aggressive ownership. Adding Turner to that lineup?? Can you say 8-9 runs a game? Shoot if I was a FA pitcher I'd want those bats going for me every 5th day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Verlander, and especially Scherzer, are among my favorite pitchers. Always been a fan of the great ones on the mound. But.......I hate the Mets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Ad a Reds fan I don't know why I keep watching MLB during the winter meetings. I know the Reds won't make any deals or signings that will be worth them talking about. To me it is sad that about half the teams have no shot at the top free agents and those teams are like the minor league teams for the big market teams. At least in football all the teams have the same opportunity to sign the players. First year the NFL had free agency the top free agent Reggie White signed with the smallest market in Green Bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has pretty much been this way for the Reds and their small market brethren since it's inception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Draft lottery was tonight and the Reds had the 4th best chance to win the lottery. Reds could pick anywhere from 1-10. Reds will pick 7th so three teams below then moved ahead of them. Reds baseball had no luck at all . A's went from 2 to 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect one of the shortstops to sign today or tomorrow. Today will be all about Judge/Yankees deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batting mechanics mean a lot. Major league pitchers are a smart bunch and will find a hole in your swing quicker than you can say "Joe Charboneau." Sometimes a few adjustments is the cure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
