Womack Gone, Heartthrob Returns
According to Marc, Tony Womack is officially no longer a part of the Reds' organization. Eight days after designating him for assignment, the Reds have given him his unconditional release.
Ouch, man. But you know this is a good thing for the team. If O'Brien were still in charge, Womack would be starting every day at second.
Also according to Marc, Cody Ross is going on the DL and Chris Denorfia is taking his place. Apparently Marc thought that Griffey would be reactivated. Apparently he didn't read my fake news.
Hey, the Reds are the proud owners of the best record in baseball, and they did it with Ken Griffey, Jr. biding his time in the clubhouse, putting Ben Gay in people's jocks or whatever the hell he does when he's bored.
Frankly, I'd rather have the Heartthrob spelling Freel. I don't think Griffey's much of a speller.
Hey, RHM, can you spell “liability in the outfield”?
Hint: G-R-I-F-F-E-Y
I thought it was D-U-N-N. Not that it matters that much, Dunn, Encarnacion, and to some degree Griffey as well are all suspect defensively, but their defensive shortcomings are far outweighed by their offensive contributions.
