Big Poison
He really sucks
sigurd 2
Well, yeah. His name tells us that.
timyanks
what’s worse than a hoover that doesn’t suck?
a leaf blower that won’t blow.

He has been really bad in 2014 and this year, but I hate to see it because he really seems like a nice guy. Have talked with him a few times at Redsfest.

Ahh vacuum humor… Let me guess not a fan of Wayne Kirby or Sam Dyson either?

He’s cleared waivers and is at triple A already. The Sox won’t get him. They’re going to go into, “we believe we have what it takes to make a postseason run.” Mode with the garbage they have now.

I am really curious what the timing of this transaction means. They didn’t need a 40 man spot and they didn’t replace him immediately either. What purpose does it serve to outright him right now rather than when you actually need the spot?

An Amir Garrett promotion???

I like Garrett a lot but I doubt they bring him up this year. I would guess they bring up Stephenson this year though

He’s already on the 40-man. Thought the same thing myself at first (read my other response below).

Seems to indicate either Garrett or Jesse Winker may be in line for a promotion. Scott Schebler was double switched out of a game yesterday after being hit by a pitch, so there is always a possibility he could be headed to the DL (not sure where he was hit or if that even had something to do with the double switch though). The other possibility is that they could be claiming someone off of waivers. Ramiro Peña would seem like an interesting option, as he would provide an upgrade over current utility player Iván De Jesús Jr. There definitely has to be something in the works though, they wouldn’t have cleared the 40-man spot for seemingly no reason.

Correction: Garrett is already on the Reds’ 40-man roster.

Don’t know what the problem with Hoover is, but he has been mostly awful in the majors. My brother and I call him JJ Groover!
