Josh Hamilton traded

Last years feel good story is gone. The Reds traded away Josh Hamilton to the Texas Rangers for RHP Edinson Volquez and LHP Danny Herrera. Both are rated as top prospects in the Rangers organization.

Hamilton had a great first season in the big leagues after winning the starting CF job from Freel, but spent a lot of time on the DL. I would have liked to keep him, but they did get a lot in return for a rule 5 draft pick. Who do they have to play CF now? I don't think Freel is the answer.

Jay Bruce, is he going to start in the majors next season?

Pretty funny how the Rangers trade away some nice pitching prospects. The Reds benefit in this one.

Re: Josh Hamilton traded

I thought the Reds made out very well on this trade. They gave away a rule 5 draftee for 2 top pitching prospects...one of them ready for the majors.

From what I was reading, the CF job is Bruce's to lose in spring training with Freel a second choice.

This trade could also land them Bedard. They can afford to give up an extra pitching prospect the Orioles want since they just got some replacements.

He started the season last year in A ball at Sarasota. He climbed through AA ball quickly at Chattanooga, and ended up in Louisville AAA team. He breezed through the entire minor league and they feel he is ready for the big leagues.
