I went to the game last night, and the crowd was loving the kids on the field. And I was thinking that the Reds are close to being a good team. They need a few major upgrades. Instead of going small in center field, they should've gone big on one of the corners, and put Dickerson in center, which they still may do. Taveras is not helping this team, they can bench him for the remainder of the year. But my thought last night was, as much as this town loves anyone who does well, like Joey Votto has, who's really only been a full time player for a year now, and who is not a big name star, what would we do for a big time player? We came out in droves for Griffey, and well, that didn't really work out very well, but that doesn't mean we don't still need a big star in the outfield. If we go get a top line player, a 120 rbi guy and 40 homers, folks will love him. The other piece is they need a solid #1 starter. Aaron Harang is still struggling, and yes, he doesn't get the run support he deserves, but he seems like a decent #2, not a #1. So go get Roy Halladay and Vernon Wells in a package. Use some minor league chips. You save for things like this. Mr Castellini, please go blow your bank account, and make this team good again. Bring back the history to this city, bring back the honor. I need a World Series in cincy before I die.
