My Chat with Brandon Phillips

I made the trip to Bowling Green and the Reds Winter Caravan and waited in line for about 1/2 an hour. They were just about right on time and we were all told that we could only have 1 thing signed per player. There were about 200 people on hand, more or less. Now the fun starts.

After going through the line and signing up for the giveaways we finally got to Devin Mesoraco (2007 #1 Pick), Brandon Phillips, Bob Miller (VP/Asst. GM), Marty Brennaman, Chris Welsh, and Lee May.

MLB News for Monday

Posted on January 5, 2009 at 07:35 PM.

A busy Monday around Major League Baseball. This January is shaping up to be the busiest in years.

Pat Burrell has signed a reported 2 year deal for 16 million with the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays. That is substantially lower that what Burrell made the last few years. I think we are seeing the market finally correct itself. It's a great deal for Tampa. Pat the Bat is a good hitter and fits well.

The Chicago Cubs signed OF Milton Bradley for a reported ... Read More

1 year, 8 million dollars for Randy Johnson. Johnson will join the San Francisco rotation behind Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Johnson could earn up to 3 million in performance bonuses.

Reds Sign Willy Tavares

Yes, that Willy Tavares. The Reds sign Tavares to a 2 year deal. Expect him to play a decent center and make a whole lot of outs. He's fast and can steal a base, but I have yet to see anyone steal first. These are the kind of deals that leave the Reds in the bottom of the NL Central.

Baseball Blog Coming Soon

Posted on December 22, 2008 at 02:55 PM.

I just want to let anyone that is interested know that I will start blogging soon. It will be geared towards Major League Baseball and all that involves. I'll probably have something within the next day or so about what has happened this offseason to date and what I see going on before Spring Training. I'll likely start with the Cincinnati Reds, of course, and just see where I go from there.
