It's no secret that the Reds have been nothing short of lousy this year...and a lot of that blame has to be put squarely upon the shoulders of manager Dusty Baker. However, despite Baker's many shortcomings, he has had to deal with a plethora of injuries to starters and plenty of lousy players on the big league roster. Well, today that number of lousy players on the Reds' roster is reduced by one. According to the Boston Globe and now ESPN.com, the Boston Red Sox have decided that they will somehow be benefited by trading for Alex Gonzalez, the Reds' current ...

The #1 Source for New England Sports Opinions and Propaganda... —
With Jed Lowrie sidelined, the Sox went out and traded for old friend Alex Gonzalez. They apparently sent A infielder Kris Negron to the Reds in exchange for Gonzalez. The 11 year vet can't hit much. He's hitting .210, which is .012 below the Varitek line. Gonzalez's OPS is a dismal .554. But he brings a .977 fielding percentage to short-stop, which gives the Sox some needed defense at the position. Source: Boston.com's Extra Bases ...

Red Sox Nation Daily —
... You getting that old 2006 feeling again....well it's more than just a feeling....the Red Sox have acquired former shortstop Alex Gonzalez...from 2006 Boston Red Sox fame. Alex was flashy with the leather in his time with Boston...but hit really light at the plate....and was oft injured...something that has followed him in his time since leaving Beantown. The good news for Alex is....he and .210 batting average should fit in nicely with the likes of David Ortiz .218 and Jason Vartiek .222 and his new back up Nick Green .233...and ...

Maybe the most surprising aspect of the Washington Times report yesterday that Ted Lerner, Stan Kasten, and Mike Rizzo travelled to California last week to meet with Stephen Strasburg is not that Boras let the Nats' meet with his client, it's that Ted and Stan let Acting Mike tag along. Or maybe that alleged GM search is just a sham, and Mike's their man afterall?
Fire Mike Rizzo. Can't believe he decided to keep Guz around.
