Bad thing is that he was a rule 5 draft pick so if I read it correctly he has to stay on the roster the whole year. if not they will have to send him back. I have read where they still looking at trading for Rosario of the Indians https://www.redlegnation.com/2021/01/30/cincinnati-reds-acquire-shortstop-kyle-holder-from-philadelphia-phillies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Not exactly Mike Trout's resume. Kyle Holder will turn 27-years-old in May and he’s never played above Double-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched the Cubs offseason? Haha. 100 years to undo all the wrong...spend 7-8 years of turning everything around and in one short off season they've destroyed every ounce of goodwill. Being mad at Bears ownership just comes with the territory of being a Chicago fan....but I really believed in the Ricketts. We have 1 starter. Zero pen....and to be determined on what will happen with Rizzo/Bryant/Baez. On paper this is a 70-75 win team max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinals because I actually liked watching them under Whitey Herzog. You just don't see that style of play any longer and baseball has taken a lot of entertaining aspects out of the game. What made me dislike the Cardinals were Toney Larussa and Molina. As a Reds fan I can't stand Molina and wished someone would have taken him out in that brawl.

The only thing n that list I hate is starting extra innings with a guy on second base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 You'll never convince me on the DH...Dumbs down the game so much that it's barely worth watching for me... Of course, in the world today, dumbing down is the answer to pretty much everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
