It is hard to get excited about any of these guys. With so many good players left why not pay them. Invest in good talent.

He played 1B, 3B and DH in his sophomore season. Maybe he's Brunt....

Bellamy gone.

I want to know what Floppy think's about Kyle Bellamy's inverted M? V? W?

I thought Dugan's dad looked familar. He was a character actor before he was a director - he played Richie Brockelman, Private Eye on the Rockford Files and in a short -lived TV series back in the late 70's.

I used pete rose because he is a self-proclaimed over achiever who should have never made it to the majors so I don’t think it was a bad bad comparison. You look at the #’s and say wow pete had mad skills but he’d be the 1st to tell you he got there by desire. Here’s another comp. Chase utley had more skills than pete but had no glove. W/O his work ethic chase is a nice bat off the bench because even his bat wouldn’t be as good as it is today w/desire. Rollins is another guy who was driven to succeed even w/huge q marks about his ability to hit.

Way had a good year:

2.43 ERA, 107.1 IP, 85 H, 33 BB, 124 K

Reds get Pedro Cerrano

by **FTN** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:35:18

looking at way's scouting video, looks kind of like ja happ. #5 starter in the bigs.

more importantly, a college senior, so he'll sign for $5 and a banana split from DQ
