Don't like what the Reds are doing. On paper, they had a team that was ready to contend right now. They just needed Votto back healthy. If by mid season they felt as if they couldn't hack it, they could still get a premium return. I think their rebuild is starting a little premature.

Reds traded Simon to Tigers for a couple players. Too lazy to look up details.

Rangers just took Delino Deshields Jr in the rule 5 draft. I thought he was one of HOUs top guys?

Yeah but I liked Simon a lot. I would rather they trade Bailey than Simon. My problem is we aren't getting any hitting back from these trades.

Are you on crack? Simon is an old dude who had one good half a season.

career .362 OBP , 241 minor league SBs, and he's 21.

curious move with such a lack of hitting in the system

Former top prospect when the system was much weaker. He's fallen out of most top 100 prospect rankings. Its likely that he'll be returned to the Astros. Rule 5s have to stay on the major league roster and its much harder to hide a position player all season. DDj struggled in his first season at AA (.236) and he's not a defensive whiz. His only value at the ML level in 2015 would be his speed.

I'm not disagreeing with trading Simon necessarily I just wish we were gettting some hitting out of it. But that aside Bailey sucks. I would have traded him like 4 years ago.
