This is a GREAT trade for Texas, and I'm pissed off that Cashman didn't grab Hamilton. He really dropped the ball on this one.

Damn Cashman for his bull................ philosophy on how to build a team. He just doesn't get it, and he constantly disregards the most important criteria when evaluating players.

Cashman, when will you finally learn????

WE NEED MORE GUYS WITH BIG FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because they are not smart.

I can see Hamilton thriving in Arlington, spraying hits all over that field. I hope his problems are truly behind him and he can secure a good career in the big leagues.

why would cinci trade him away so easily? clearly he still has issues that they're scared will blow up in their faces and they wanted to get rid of him while they still had the chance

Even if his personal history wasn't an issue, you have to figure Jay Bruce needing a position to play is the main reason. Dunn and Griffey are automatically penciled in so that leaves CF for Hamilton, Freel, and one of the best positional prospects in baseball.

One too many I guess.

Cashman has an affinity for hard throwing 6 foot plus guys who weighs 200+ pounds so that should cover it.

The Reds got a pitcher who was highly regarded and then has been all over the place in terms of actually producing. They dealt from a position of strength to try to fill out the backend of their rotation. The Reds turned 50,000$ and a Rule V pick into what they hope will be a back end of the rotation+ kind of a guy and another one who couldn't break a pane of glass but has still gotten guys out in the minors. Risk on both sides for this trade, but it seems like a good risk.
