Womack Traded To The Reds

[seancasey21]

Kevin Howard, I thought he was apotential rule 5 draft guy?

He was but made it through all phases without being selected

I don't thing Womack will be a cheap source of anything since there is no way he will be starting. As bench player, he has good value to the Reds, but he will be worthless fantasy-wise. I basically see this move as a hedge against the possibility that Encarnacion may not pan out. If that happens Freel slides to 3B and Womack takes over at 2B.

Hey seancasey, if you can rely to O'Brein that the reds need pitching though, this is last move without getting some, ok? ;-D

See I knew Cashman was working on being a smarter manager. Watch out now the yanks are getting smarter and smarter .

I'm hearing Ben Himes & Kevin Howard for Womack and $900K. If you think that doesn't make any sense, remember that they have also offered arbitration to Aurilia

WASTE OF MONEY AND A ROSTER SPACE

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

hmmm from a quick glance these two look like decent prospects. both pretty far from making an impact on the major league level tho. oh wells we unloaded blowmack

[wrveres]

Kevin Howard is one of the names I'm hearing. I think O'brien is trying to see if he can come up with a worse transaction than signing Eric Milton-before he gets the ax.

The Reds decided at the 11th hour to offer infielder Rich Aurilia arbitration. Reds manager Jerry Narron spelled out what Aurilia's role would be to Aurilia's agent, Barry Axelrod. Axelrod called the Reds at 9 p.m. to express Aurilia's wishes to return.
