Re: Sunrise in San Diego- Executive Decisions

The Red Terror
The Cincinnati Reds were once thought of as a push over opponent but no longer. They have extended deals to a wide variety of players and are greasing the gears for the Big Red Machine to make a return. First they get Verlander, then Sandoval goes to Cincinnati, they extend offers to all free agent center fielders and then they go hog wild in the pitching market offering any free agent with a "Type A" or "Type B" next to their name.

Normally that wouldn't bother us but then out of nowhere they become Johnny Cueto's top suiter.

But their Dodgeristic spending doesn't stop there. No, it continues.


That's right, they throw their money into King Felix, Baseball's most prized possession. They are close to signing Cueto and Romero and Hernandez. So if we let them get Hernandez and the rest, that gives them a rotation of Verlander, C.C., Hernandez, Cueto and Romero. That's about 120 game winner right there.

We can't let that happen. So we throw our money out on the market to keep the power in our corner. And whatdda know?


We give a 7-17 pitcher coming off of his worst statistical season a 76 million dollar deal. We didn't want to do it but we had to. So everyone's hootin' and hallerin' , dancing to "Mess Around" then we realize that our rotation is going to be Lee, Halladay, Hanson, Kershaw, Hernandez.... Oh F....

We have to make a trade. If this was just some game, we'd be content with letting these guys do their thing and then let the prospects do whatever but no, this isn't just a game. This is San Diego Padres baseball and we ain't goin' to make fools outta ourselves.

So everyone, brace yourselves, we're about to crank up the telephone and get on the horn with everyone in trade talks.
