The Untouchables: Cincinnati Reds Style

Edwin has come a long way with his defense and may indeed compete for a Gold Glove at the position in the near future— combine that with the flashes of power that he shows from time to time and I could see why another team may want to take a chance on the kid.

What I can’t see is how we could possibly say no to the right deal.

If EE were to be traded and Jeff Keppinger had to slide over and play third base for the Reds, would that be so horrible?

Color me confused on why exactly Edwin is on the untouchable list!

So, that’s it folks, that’s the list.

What was that you said?

That can’t be the entire list?

I beg to differ, according to the report, that’s the whole thing.

Where is Aaron Harang on that list?

What about Brandon Phillips?

Very good questions and I wish I had the answer to that.

Aaron has not exactly looked like himself this season, but still manages to go out every fifth day and give the Reds a chance to win.  His run support has been an absolute joke this season and that has to play a part in the mental aspect of his game.

How can he be expected to go out and shut down the opposing offense when he knows in the back of his mind that if he gives up two runs he’s probably going to lose?
