Yeah Olney says it's a done deal. I'll be pretty disappointed if Texas gave up OLT to get Dempster. Otherwise, I welcome any starting pitcher to this team.
I don't understand the Soto pick up either. He's decent but doesn't Texas already have a decent catcher? That makes no sense to me. Seems like a lateral move at best.
Soto will be backing up Napoli I have to assume. So we got a backup catcher fuck yeah...nice job (unless what TJ said which did make a lot of sense).
Texas did NOT deal Olt for Dempster so I'm good with it. His ERA will increase in Texas for sure, but as long as he doesn't walk many hitters, he'll probably be ok.
They will probably have Soto catch for Dempster for his first few starts until Napoli gets used to him. Although with the Rangers offense they may just use Soto every time Demptster pitches. Would be giving up a decent hitter with Napoli but good pitching is needed more and Soto would make Dempster feel more comfortable.
I was actually excited for the Garza,Dempster for Upton deal rumoored around...but we got two single A players..hopefully in the winter meetings,he can get a few players to keep the seats warm so to speak..
I am pretty sure Reed will be back..he usually is..Coleman should be nowhere near the mound..let alone a starter..guess we will just have to keep waiting...
Feliz to have Tommy John, Oswalt to the pen. Not sure Oswalt should be on the team. Feliz RUINED. He was ruined in that WS Game 6. Let's be honest here.
Indeed, it's just the backup catcher we had wasn't that bad. I guess they're hoping Soto can improve at the plate and possibly replace Napoli. Soto is an upgrade defensively over Torreabla, so that's good. He might be better than Napoli too, who isn't that great defensively either.
Gosh damn Matt Holliday! Gosh damn! Watch out Croft..the Redbirds are comin for your Reds. We will do any thing neccessary to win the Central. Including getting into a dugout clearing brawl..oh wait..
Seven games is no big deal. We may not win the Central but we will get that Wildcard! Let's hope the Reds are smart and don't start saying the Cardinals are bad and that they are so much better. Didn't work out for the Brewers too well.
I'm looking forward to this Mike Olt feller. BASH BASH BASH! ... he might hit one to Dallas.
The Reds win again : that's 3 out of 4 from the Padres and best of all Chapman got a much needed day off. He might get a second day off tomorrow now that the Reds have Broxton. But the pesky Pirates of Pittsburgh are coming to town. It should be fun! :mark:
The Uptons both his their 100th career Home Runs tonight. Pretty cool stuff right there.
