More ex-Cubs to Cincy..

Looks like Dusty is bringing more of his boys to the Reds...

 

According to Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News, the Reds signed Jacque Jones and Daryle Ward to minor league deals today. 

Jones, 34 in April, hit .147/.239/.207 in 134 plate appearances for the Tigers and Marlins last year.  Jones played winter ball and had laser eye surgery this winter.  Troy Renck says he'll get $600K and an April out clause.

Ward, 33, hit .216/.319/.402 in 119 plate appearances for the Cubs last year.  He missed time with a herniated disc.

same news

posted 5 hours ago in another thread. my advice for you is look around before posting. most newsworthy stories are posted within minutes usually.

I dont care who the new owner is as long as he/she/them come equipped with a Jake Peavy and a Joe Beimel!!!

Disagree

If it’s just talked about in a different thread, than a fanpost/shot is perfectly fine. Not everyone has the time to read through all the discussions on here. If it’s in another post, than yeah don’t repost it.

If something gets posted twice

why make a big deal about it? It happens.

just common courtesy and respect.

Because this is such a busy site...

… if the same topic gets posted twice (or more), that pushes other conversations down the list, making them harder to find.

I once again ask everyone to check BOTH lists (FanPost AND FanShot) to see if your topic is already being discussed.

Here, let me take this one in a different direction: I didn’t know Hal McCoy was still writing — I thought he was retired.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
