There's been talk of Hamilton getting traded for starting pitching a lot lately. Maybe they didn't feel comfortable having him there as the "face" of the org knowing there's a good chance he won't be around for opening day.

True, there has been a lot of talk about him in trade rumors. The official reason from the Reds for Hamilton not being in attendance was a "family commitment". No one around here really batted an eye at it... so who knows. The Reds are still on the hunt for a good starting pitcher... just like everyone else.

The best part is none of your sigs were from guys on the 'roids list. :P

Um... I have a feeling that the "roids list" is far from complete (no Albert Belle, KEvin Mitchell, Cecil Fielder? Come on!!!). Anywho, looks like Cinci is in the hunt for Prior. So Hamilton may stay put if they take a chance on him. But there's a lot of talk about Bedard coming to Cicni. I bet they'd have to give up Hamilton (and prolly a prospect) for Bedard. If it were me, I'd stay away from anyone from Baltimore. They seem to have been the hotbed for most of the Roids activity.

Yeah, I hear all of that too about Bedard. Lots of names being thrown around... Hamilton, Homer Bailey, Jay Bruce, Johnny Cueto. The rumor mill is a buzzin'. The Reds have a ton of talent that is coming up real soon. We'll see how it all pans out.
