> to true Fans baseball is not all about moneyFirst, when did I say anything about money? All I said was that getting a decent pitcher in return for an average-at-best first baseman is a good deal. That the Reds lose an 8 million dollar boat anchor in the process is merely a nice bonus. Second, I'm not sure how thinking this trade makes sense makes me not a "true fan," but as you say, we're all entitled to our opinions. But, just for the record, I attend approximately 50 home games per year, and I suspect unlike yourself, I actually knew who David Williams was before news of the trade broke. You may like Sean as a person, and I don't see how anyone couldn't, but that doesn't make him a great first baseman>To me Casey is more than what you sayHe really isn't. Yes, he's a great guy, we all love Sean Casey. I'm sure we all wish he could remain a Red. But as much as we might wish it weren't the case, baseball IS all about money, and has been seen the players won free agency. And what that means is that a team like the Reds with a payroll 1/4 the size of other teams simply can't afford to pay to an average player $8.5 million and have any hope to compete.But, back to the matter at hand:The Reds need pitching more than anything else. The Reds had the best offense in the NL last year, and the 2nd best offense in the majors. And yet they had one of the worst pitching rotations in baseball. Obviously something has to give. Add to that the fact that the fact that the Reds have 4 guys who should be playing every day in the outfield. Now unless the Reds start playing softball, that means one of those guys has to sit out every day. But! With Casey out of the way, Dunn could be moved to first base (where he is less of a defensive liability than he is in left field) and WMP, Jr., and Kearns can play every day in the outfield. So the way I see it, the Reds have improved their pitching and made a move to allow them to field their 8 best position players every day all in one trade. I hate to see Casey go as much as you, but in this case it's the right move.AndrewTo me Casey is more than what you sayEveryone to their own opnion to each this ownJudy
