Reds DFA Graves

Bye bye, Danny. You’ve been … DFA’d.

Funny thing is, when the Reds cut bait with D’Angelo Jimenez last week, the guy most featured in an interview with the Enquirer? Danny Graves.

I love that Carl Lindner has gotten the concept of sunk costs. At this point, there’s really only two Reds that could credibly never see this axe: Junior Griffey and Sean Casey, the former because he’s a Hall of Fame talent and the latter because he’s such a fan favorite. Thankfully, Adam Dunn won’t see this treatment because he’s wailing away at every at-bat, as his homer and strikeout totals show.

Kudos to you, Carl. Next year, though, don’t let your GM sign fly-ball pitchers in a ballpark that pads homer stats but depresses run scoring on balls that don’t leave the ballpark, eh?
