JBandJoeyV Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Manny Ramirez was just placed on waivers... Manny, even though hes having an off year, is still an over .300 hitter with power and RBI potential. He would add some potentcy to this team and make our offense even better then it already is. I know hes a headache, but would having him for a month or two really cause many problems? His defense is still a liability but so is Gomes. Also, while we would be on the hook for like 3 mil or something, only 1.1 of it would be due the rest deferred. New lineup of... 1. Phillips 2. Cabrera/Stubbs 3. Votto 4. Rolen 5. Ramirez 6. Bruce 7. Stubbs/Janish/Heisey 8. Hanigan/Ramon Or something like that...id MUCH rather have him then Jonny "Popout or strikeout" Gomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 The white sox are going to claim him. Not sure if baseball waivers are like football waivers but if we both claim him, he goes to them based on record I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 either way I just don't see it happening. I'd rather replace gomes with heisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Heisey over Gomes, although maybe now that Gomes got homer number 100 out of the way he'll focus more on basehits and stuff? One can hope cant they?

Bengals1181 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 at this point they should probably looking at making a waiver claim for a starting pitcher. They're talking about shutting down leake. They're talking about sending Volquez to the bullpen. Harang is reportedly headed to the bullpen. That leaves you with a rotation of Arroyo, Wood who's coming off a bad start, Cueto who's coming off of two bad starts, Bailey who had a bad start today, and who? Granted, I won't freak out too much about the SF series where the giants just seemed to hit everything, but starting pitching has become a HUGE issue the last few weeks. In the last 2 weeks everyone has gotten light up at least once if not multiple times. This team is really going to regret not grabbing a vet at the trade deadline.

Jason Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 No thank you. I like the chemistry of this team. He would only screw that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Reds should claim Ted Lilly. Dodgers just put him on waivers. He's 5-0 in 5 starts with a 1.83 ERA since being traded to the Dodgers just before the trade deadline. Leake's on the DL, Harang is headed to the pen, and Wood is coming off a bad start and is still a rookie that could hit a wall at any time. Only $2 million left on his contract. Its likely another team would put a claim in first, but at least try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 wouldn't hate it but wouldn't be life or death for me. Don't think he'd fair well in gabp, I'll try to pull up his stats in gabp but I think he'd give up his fair share of homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
