November 3, 20187 yr Brinson gets roasted here more than he does on other team sites. Why would the Reds team site roast Brinson any?
November 3, 20187 yr I love the guy but what a waste of money that Prado extension turned out to be. Even though he is overpaid, Chen had some really solid stretches last season so if he could fix the home/road issue he might be a solid starter.

November 3, 20187 yr Brinson definitely had a lot of hype coming into the season. He didn’t nothing to disprove that after the Spring he had. Would have been nice if he had a solid year. At least we know he can play defense.
November 4, 20187 yr with ARB and everything that puts them at $78m. If they trade JT it's prob more like $69m. Where the heck is that extra $30m going to go and why? Seems like a pretty high # but w/e
November 4, 20187 yr Also, starlin performs at or above his contract (2-3WAR) he should be tradeable for something of value tbh

The Prado extension looked like a good move at the time, so it's hard to hate on it.
November 4, 20187 yr The Prado extension looked like a good move at the time, so it's hard to hate on it. The Carl Pavano signing by the Yankees after the 2004 season seemed like a good move at the time, too, and he's practically public enemy #1 there.
November 4, 20187 yr I think that's because people here liked him too much. Also the prevailing opinion here was that he should never have made the opening day roster for years of control reasons. When he struggled early and the team insisted he play through it in Miami it only further infuriated people to where there was a shift from being annoyed with the front office handling of him to just being annoyed with him. For me he’s a player that is capable of a massive leap next year.
November 5, 20187 yr The Carl Pavano signing by the Yankees after the 2004 season seemed like a good move at the time, too, and he's practically public enemy #1 there. No Yankees fans even talk about Carl Pavano anymore. Regardless, it's in kind of bad taste to be cool with a move when it's made (which I'm pretty sure most of us were when we re-signed Prado) and then rip it when it unfortunately goes downhill. Injuries have also played a major role in Prado's decline. It's like saying "I hope Pitcher X throws a slider here" and then being upset when Pitcher X throws a good slider and Hitter Y goes down and smacks it to opposite field for a home run.
November 5, 20187 yr Author I had no issue with the Prado extension. He was the team captain unofficially and the locker room loved him. It wasn't a crazy contract considering his production anyway.

November 5, 20187 yr The Prado extension looked like a good move at the time, so it's hard to hate on it. I think many thought it was a bit of an overpay, but obviously in hindsight, it looks bad. with ARB and everything that puts them at $78m. If they trade JT it's prob more like $69m. Where the heck is that extra $30m going to go and why? Seems like a pretty high # but w/e Yeah, that figure makes no sense, unless a Machado signing is in the cards. I'm guessing the 100M figure is a ceiling that they'd go to, not a guarantee that's what it'll be. Also the prevailing opinion here was that he should never have made the opening day roster for years of control reasons. When he struggled early and the team insisted he play through it in Miami it only further infuriated people to where there was a shift from being annoyed with the front office handling of him to just being annoyed with him.
