    Aurilia signs minor league contract with Reds

    I don't have a link, I heard it on the radio today. He signed a minor league contract and got an invite to Spring Training.

    IMO Rich hasn't been the same since 2001. That was his prime year, his "Brady Anderson" flake impression. I personally think that Beltre is one of these kinds of guys too, and he won't ever have a breakout year like that again.


    Anyway, I really hope that Aurilia shapes it up this year. With a low mound and short dimensions at GAB, he has a chance to at least get back up to 20 home runs again this year.

    I hope he can make a major comeback. I loved seeing him play with the Giants.

        I think this was a very astute low-risk signing by the Reds. I can see Aurilia having a great year in the launching pad that is GAB. It's deals like this that point to some optimism for the Reds faithful.

            I really like this move by Dan O'Brien. Aurillia went to the A.L. and seen a different strike zone, He didnt adjust there. Now He is back in the N.L. where He is familiar with the strike zone." He will win the short stop position" He can play 4 positions if necessary,he's a veteran,clubhouse leader,solid glove,solid bat,AND best of all...He's playin' in a "Hitters Park"!!

                I like the Aurillia signing, O'Brien's made some great moves this year. I like the Eric Milton and Joe Randa signings as well.... Excited to be a Reds fan this year.

                I know everyone's calling GABP a Hitters park, and it certainly looks that way to me, but the Park factor's list it as slightly a pitchers park last year.

                here are the park factors in the NL

                TEAM PARK
                Cardinals 96
                Braves 99
                Cubs 105
                Dodgers 95
                Padres 92
                Astros 100
                Marlins 95
                Mets 98
                Brewers 102
                Pirates 95
                Expos 94
                Giants 103
                Phillies 100
                Diamondbacks 103
                Reds 92

                    Anyone that thinks Aurilla will be a solid to good player in the Majors next year is just setting themselves up for disappointment.

                    Words can't even begin to describe how terrible he was with the M's.

                    After his monster 2001 season, his OBP has been .305, .325, and .314. His OPS has been .718, .735, and .667

                            I think you're talking about Ramon Ortiz. Russ signed with the D-Backs.
