rcarpenter62 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I smell a LaRue trade coming. I can't think of any other reason why the Reds would trade for another catcher. Does anyone know if the new catcher has minor league options remaining? Quote
CBin2k7 Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 No way they would trade Larue now, they just signed him to a long term deal in the off-season. Plus D. Ross is not an upgrade to Larue, the Larue/Valentin platoon worked fine last year. If anything this signals Dunn's move to back to the outfield, and Larue/Valenin platoon at first along with Hatteberg. I can't even see Ross sticking at this point. Who knows? Quote

Does anyone know if the new catcher has minor league options remaining?It means CooCoo LaRue is signed to an attractive long term deal and therefore expendable. With any luck you will never see him in a Reds uniform again. Krivsky has too many spare parts lying around (see catchers, second basemen and average relief pitchers) for a trade or two not to happen. Quote
skyline Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 They got a 3rd catcher for Larue's surgery, right?They hope he'll be back for the opener, but they needed another body in case Larue couldn't play and Valentine got hurt somehow. Quote
semiotter Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Hey saw Ross a couple times in spring games on TV and he dont look to bad, plus with Jason getting hurt im glad we got him.... Quote
