Brandon Phillips

up his light hitting and whose wall-crashing ways hurt him more often than they help the team) and Brandon Phillips, he of the revived career. Their starting pitchers do seem to be formidable, and Francisco Cordero should shut down the game, if they can get through the shaky bullpen in between.

e not making a move one-way or the other. This team has some wonderful pieces in place. Brandon Phillips is a stud at second base, Adam Dunn can hit 40 homers, Ryan Freel is a spark plug and Ken Griffey Jr. can still play a little bit. Aaron Harang is a top-notch pitcher who has continued to stay under the radar somehow and Bronson Arroyo can win some games. Chad Cordero is a very productive closer and they have a solid bullpen other than him. But then they sit around and play people like Scott Hatteberg, Alex Gonzalez and Edwin Encarnacion. I don’t get it, either sell high on your studs and get some prospects and more young players or you go out and spend the money and really make your team a contender. I don’t get it; they have had this core of players for a few years now and have done nothing with it. Boggles my mind, I guess that’s why they are the Cincinnati Reds.
