Steve Phillips is an ass hat and I feel he's got the gig on ESPN to target the large audience of homosexuals that follow the game in San Francisco.
That said
Arroyo became toast almost immediatley after the 05 season,he threw what? 230 ip in 05..
and never again was he anywhere near as good as the 1st half of that season.
Cinci gave him 2/25M and then added an extension to that as well?
I always liked arroyo but after watching him this year its evident hes got little left.
The reds have some new faces out there pitching and Harang and Cordero are established vets who get it done.
The trade to dc a couple years ago that sent lopez and kearns never panned out as they wished.
I love watching Dunn play,he reminds me of Canseco except he cant hit or run as well.
The reds were hitting something like .115 with risp and 2 out and the ss keppinger was the only guy delivering in the clutch...
40hrs 200ks?
Jocketty is a good baseball guy but the reds park is taylor made for hitters as is phillys.
It maybe a chore to develop young arms in these places.
