Broxton Done for Season

[Ryanballa]

Broxton to the DL with flexor mass strain. Will have surgery. Christiani called up.

 

[JohnU]

It's hard to tell on Christiani.

His Bats-line:

that is a huge loss. Look for a move soon

 

[JohnU]

Reds put Cueto on the 60-day list to make room for Christiani.

 

[bengaldoug]

Why him, and not Partch?

 

[JohnU]

Neither Partch nor Christiani figures to get a lot of work. It could connect to the number of options the team is willing to burn on one guy.

 

[Cincy the Red]

Maybe Broxton will come back at 250lbs instead of 300.....might help him from getting injured going forward.

 

[chico ruiz]

apparently, partch just came off the disabled list himself.

 

[JohnU]

Yeah, now that you mention it ... I recall Partch WAS on the DL.

 

[Ryanballa]

that is a huge loss. Look for a move soon

I agree, I think that the Reds will go out and get something to help the bullpen a lil. Wouldn't have to really give up much. There is a SF pitcher they was looking at, at the trading deadline that could be a possibility.

 

[JohnU]

OK, let's play rumor mill, shall we?

Aaron Harang.

I doubt that Pittsburgh, St Louis, or any of the other contenders would let a player, that might help the Reds clear waivers, at this point in the season
