A true Reds fan would know that Guillen was a free agent next year and wouldn't resign with us because he wanted to play everyday. So we got 3 Oakland pitchers for him. Second, Boone was the most popular Reds player for sure but he is a career .270 hitter who was at the height of his ability this year. The Reds got the Yankees #1 pitching prospect. The Reds did what they had to do to get some pitching. They are stocked in the outfield (Kearns, Dunn, Griffey, Pena, Mateo and Smitherman in the minors and third base (Branyan, Castro and Edwin Encarnacion and Brandon Larson in the minors.

All year we would would win10-9 or lose 15-3. Pitching was needed with a rotation of Graves, Dempster, Haynes and Wilson. We are getting unfairly criticized for scrapping the season, saving money, and letting some of our minor leaguers get their feet wet. I like the players that were traded and I'll miss them but I'm, first and foremost, a Reds fan, not a Reds player fan.
