December 4, 200718 yr The Reds may make a play for Marlins left-hander Dontrelle Willis. Cincinnati finally has decent prospects to trade -- starting with pitcher Homer Bailey and slugger Joey Votto. Josh Hamilton, last year's feel good story, also should have good value now. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...ay.scoop/1.html Reds interested in Lincecum Cincinnati is apparently interested in San Francisco right-hander Tim Lincecum, but if the Giants insist on Reds outfield prospect Jay Bruce as part of any deal, look for the Reds to back off. Bruce, 20, hit a combined .319 with 26 homers and 89 RBIs in 133 games at three Minor League stops in 2007. The left-handed hitting Bruce is considered one of the team's cornerstones of the future. http://wintermeetings.mlblogs.com/nashvill...y_whispers.html
December 4, 200718 yr The report about the Reds and Willis makes it clear that they are not really interested in giving up a package such as Votto and Bailey, or Bailey and Hamilton. I don't think they are real suitors until they agree to give up at least two players. It's fine with me, because I'm not sold on Bailey as anything other than a reliever in the majors.
December 4, 200718 yr Author If that's the trade the Marlins are looking for, then I think Willis is going to stay in South Florida.
December 4, 200718 yr If that's the trade the Marlins are looking for, then I think Willis is going to stay in South Florida. He's also not worth $8 mil/year after this past season, at least to most teams.
December 4, 200718 yr NO WAY! Willis is going nowhere with such a offer! I am disgusted. :blink: that makes one of you
December 4, 200718 yr Author Gimme a package surrounding Cueto and Hamilton and Im happy. And I will vomit.
December 4, 200718 yr willis isnt going anywhere , they are trading miguel so financially keeping willis this year is not an issue . second , and more imprtant despite the fact we might not like many of the cost dumping moves the Marlins still want to win and keeping Willis especially with this staff of question marks at the very least even if his best days are behind him gives the Marlins a reliable innings eater whose win total will be at least in the double digits . I am not sure if Willis was ever really the 20 win guy of 05 but he is not the the Willis of 07 either , I expect a bounce back year
