Reds: What do you do with Bronson now?

How weak was that?
You've got to be kidding me. Bronson Arroyo goes 1 innings and allows 11 hits and 10 runs? Unacceptable. Embarrassing.
Deal him to the Phillies? No way. No how. Who needs a hole in the head? What a total waste of salary over the next 2+ years. They owe him 9.5 million next year, 11 million in '10 and an option for 11 mill or a 2-mill buyout in '11. That is at least 22.5 million owed.
Since June 19, 2006, and a record of 9-3, Arroyo's record is 18-30.

Things heard
"You have to think this would be the low point of the season"
-Marty B
"You have to wonder how much longer you can run Bronson Arroyo out there the way he's pitching. This strategy isn't working when you have the young arms in the system this team has"
-Jeff B

Line of the night
