Sara,

I'm not going to start a flame war with a fellow writer, but you've got to be kidding me...

Whose going to do the job Graves did? The Reds don't have anybody else!! The "this isn't high school" mentality is exactly why the Reds are struggling. I guess the Dodgers should have just let Milton Bradley go, because there was someone else that could have hit over .300, played great defense in center field, and have double digit homeruns already. Thank goodness this isn't high school and some people have the maturity and sense to know when they have a problem and need help. Wow...

Austin Kearns should not be hitting 7th. I agree that he does strikeout, but the guy is an 100 RBI guy if given an opportunity.

If you think Freel or any major leaguer is happy playing 5 or 6 different positions, then I don't know what to say. No one is ever happy doing that...people do that just to stay with a club.

You're right about Guillen...I forgot they did trade him to the A's. Harang has a good future...but Guillen's ..305/30/110 projections have got to bother any Reds fans

I agree with you on Dunn, but my point is that he can hit for average too....look at Vlad Guerrero, Pujols, and others who do both.

I'm not saying to keep Graves no matter what...suspend the guy, give him a chance to get some help (professionally and personally), and maybe he can contribute. If he doesn't, then you cut your ties.
