Rule 5 Draft
Um, ok i guess we'll take some cash from you Krivsky:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Cincinnati Reds worked out a deal to obtain troubled outfielder Josh Hamilton, sending cash to the Chicago Cubs after they picked him from Tampa Bay in the first round of baseball's winter meeting draft Thursday.
Ha, i wonder if the amount of money we got is enough to sign slammin sammy to a bench role...(totally kidding)

We lost
The Brewers took Edward Campusano
The Astros tookLincoln Holdzkom
The Blue Jays took Jason Smith.
Of the three guys we lost, I'd be shocked if the Astros kept Holdzkom on their roster all season long. Smith is just a utility infielder (and 30 years old) and no big loss. Campusano we might regret losing, as he seems like a good LOOGY prospect.
I think we could do without Josh Hamilton and all his problems.

Campusano
Oh well, can't protect everyone and Good Luck to him.
I saw Holdzcom pitch this Fall in the AFL and wasn't impressed whatsoever. He'll be back with the Cubs.
Wonder if Hamilton could be part of a bigger deal between the Cubs and Reds? I can dream can't I.
Either way, I hope Hamilton can get his life straightened out and from everything I've read, he's come along way from his addiction and is indeed turning his life around. You never want to see anyone throw their life away abusing drugs, but to see someone so talented do it is just a total shame.
So, if Hamilton doesn't stick with the Reds, he goes back to the DRays, correct?

Pinella factor??
Don't recall Dusty and Hendry being this tight should be good development for the club that GM and manager working so closely together.
Cubs are basically tryng to buy a winner. It's worked before, and it's backfired big time. Maybe in this crazy economic climate it's the right time to try it again.

That's OK.
Besides, after being stuck with Bynum, to get even A ball roster filler in return is better than I expected in return.
