Bengals1181 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 [quote]Reds pick up Edmonds for playoff push Veteran outfielder expected to provide additional experience By Bailey Stephens / MLB.com 08/09/10 1:27 PM ET Adding a veteran bat to their stable for the stretch run, the Reds acquired veteran outfielder Jim Edmonds from the Brewers on Monday. Cincinnati sent outfielder Chris Dickerson to the Brewers in return for the 40-year-old outfielder, who has shown that he still has a significant amount of pop in his bat. Edmonds, who signed with the Brewers as a free agent last offseason, is hitting .286 with eight homers and 20 RBIs. The left-handed hitter, a four-time All-Star and eight-time Gold Glove winner during his prime, has appeared in 73 games this season. He would be expected to add a veteran presence to the Reds' clubhouse as they gear up for a postseason run. Dickerson, 28, has been on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville after undergoing surgery on his right hand and wrist on May 3. He's been swinging at hot bat for Louisville, batting .442 with three homers and six stolen bases in 13 games. Dickerson began the season on the Reds' roster and batted .205 before injuring his hand. He was placed on the disabled list on April 30.[/quote] http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100809&content_id=13229004&vkey=news_cin&fext=.jsp&c_id=cin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he always got credit for great catches that he made, not because he was that talented, but because he was slow and had to dive for them.

JC Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Why not even bring Dickerson up and see what he can do? I mean..he's going to be around longer. Not a fan I suppose. Hopefully Edmonds will hit a fire patch and kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 wtf, they send Travis Wood down? Do we just not need a 5th starter for awhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 ok, now I'm confused. Ctrent is saying that optioned Wood to the minors and John Fay is saying that Francisco is packing up his locker. Maybe two moves? I checked, and we don't really need a 5th starter until around the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I am not in favor of sending Wood down, at all. He has pitched GREAT! WTF, seriously? Who's going to take his place in the rotation, fucking Harang? This doesn't make any sense to me. I'd rather send Leake down than Wood. At least Wood can pitch an entire game and not have to come out after 6 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 guys calm...im sure hell be back up soon. Just prob gonna skip him once in the rotation.

|Bunghole| Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 So does his turn in the rotation just get skipped or do the bring up someone to take his place for a start? This whole move with Edmunds/Wood is sorta baffling to me. He's 40 and has a bad wheel. I think I would have rather left our rotation as is and simply brought up Dickerson and sent another of the outfielders packing, like Nix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 bung he misses one start and as 1181 showed he is already at 150 innings. He's only 23 too need to limit his innings like leake. edmunds will prob help more now then dickerson. Ideally anyways. Dickerson didn't have much more of a future here then a 4th of anyways.

[/quote] What I am asking is do the other four pitchers just get shorter rest as a result of this move or is someone else being brought up to take Wood's start? And I'm also not really a fan of limiting innings unless a pitcher is coming off an injury or has pitched an ungodly amount of them. Wood isn't and hasn't.

JBandJoeyV Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 no one has to pitch on short rest. There is an off day thursday. and whether you like it or not limiting innings is something every team does. I'm not a doctor but if you only threw 150 innings in a season then jump to 215 that's prob not god for your arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're right about limiting innings too, but I worry about putting any additional stress on the bullpen as its prone to melting down. I mean...if Arroyo pitches well he regularly pitches into the 7th, 8th and 9th innings. Why is it more important to limit innings in a younger pitcher than an older one?
