Reds’ Lopez signs, avoids arbitration

The Cincinnati Reds avoided arbitration with All-Star shortstop Felipe Lopez yesterday and also received a positive medical news from 2005 opening-day starter Paul Wilson.

Lopez, who was scheduled for an arbitration hearing on Wednesday, agreed to a contract worth $2.7 million this season. He initially asked for $3 million and the team offered $2.15 million.

The Reds continue to negotiate with first baseman Adam Dunn, who is the final arbitration-eligible player on the team. Dunn is asking for $8.95 million and the team is offering $7.1 million. His hearing is scheduled for Feb. 17 in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Wilson met reporters in Great American Ball Park and offered an update on his recovery from June surgery to repair the torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He has been working out at the team’s spring training complex in Sarasota for the past two weeks.

"I’ve thrown off the mound eight times," Wilson said. "Right now I’m at about 50 percent. I’ve thrown 60 pitches the last three times and I’m getting stronger. We’re just trying to up the intensity."
Wilson has been through the rehabilitation process before. He had shoulder surgery in 1997 and Tommy John elbow surgery in 1999.

Once we get a real GM they better start locking up the young talent to LTC's and stop this year to year arb bullshit. It's probably too late for Dunn(at least to do it cheaply) but Lopez can be locked up cheap at this point in his career. These fucksticks just have to start operating like they have some sembelance of a plan. Unless of course that plan is to overtake the Clippers as the worst pro sports franchise known to man.

Also, please spare me the "good news on Wilson" bullshit. He was barely major league worthy before his SECOND complete arm rebuild. At his age you can just go ahead and collect the insurance on his fat ass contract because he's done.


I'm not normaly so pissed off and pessamistic but the fucking Reds just bring it out in me. What a complete disaster of a franchise they've been for the last decade.

Who would've thought 2 years ago that you would be saying "All Star shortstop Felipe Lopez"?

Especially after baBoone and Leather Pants did their level best to ruin him. You could always see the talent but you could also see the scared shitless look in his eyes from being put in a situation in which he couldn't succeed and that was wrecking his confidence.

From Jim Bowden and Bob Boone to Dan O and Dave Miley....its a wonder they even win their 70 some odd games a year. I don't think you could get 4 more incompetent assholes if you went to the most remote farm in China and picked 4 guys at random that spoke no english and had never even seen a baseball. Seriously, how much worse could they be?

Paul Wilson had one good year, much like Jimmy Haynes and then they both went into the tank.

Paul Wilson had one good HALF a year. His career as a whole(injuries or no) has been mediocre at best.

Of course he managed to play for the one oragnization in baseball that had the right combination of being starved for pitching with an almost zero baseball IQ and promptly turned those completely flukeish few months into a fat long term contract for himself. The best part is they knew he was hurt the second time before the big contract. :smash:

20-21 is hardly a good record for a pitcher.

He has never won more than 11 games in a season. He might be a good number 5 but he sure as hell ain't no 1-4 starter.

Didnt he pitch opening day either last year or two years ago. :slappy:

Paul Wilson was the 2004 Opening day pitcher.

Whats worse is Jimmy haynes was the Opening day starter in 2003. :eek:

For those who don't know Jimmy Haynes is the worst pitcher in MLB history for those who have thrown 1,000 IP or more. Let that sink in for a minute.....worst in MLB history. :sad:

Team wants to name GM within next week

Reds notebook

BY KEVIN KELLY | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT-->After an exhaustive week of interviews with job candidates, the Reds are getting closer to selecting their next general manager.
Braves vice president and assistant general manager Frank Wren and Reds special assistant to the GM Leland Maddox will interview Monday.
Team officials then could determine if there is a favorite among the pool of candidates, which now numbers at least nine, or a need to conduct additional interviews with a smaller group of finalists.
Either way, the Reds remain intent on concluding what has been an expedited process next week for the benefit of all sides involved in the search for Dan O'Brien's replacement.
Reds pitchers and catchers report Feb. 16 to the team's spring training complex in Sarasota, Fla. Reporting dates for other teams range from Feb. 15 to Feb. 19.
The list of known candidates grew to nine Friday when White Sox director of player development David Wilder confirmed he interviewed with the Reds Wednesday. Reds special adviser Jim Beattie interviewed Friday.
Wilder played outfield for seven seasons in the minor leagues and began his next career in 1990.
He started as a scout and coach for the A's in 1990 and worked in various player development roles with the Braves, Cubs and Brewers before joining the White Sox as a special assistant in November 2003. His reputation is that of a skilled talent evaluator.
In his present job, Wilder is in charge of the entire minor-league department and player development staff in addition to the team's Latin American operations.
The Reds interviewed Wilder for the GM job in 2003. He interviewed with the Diamondbacks and Red Sox for their GM jobs earlier this offseason.
Wilder and Wren are two of five external candidates the Reds are considering.
Twins assistant GM Wayne Krivsky, Phillies assistant GM in charge of scouting and player development Mike Arbuckle and Cardinals assistant GM John Mozeliak are the others. The Reds' internal candidates are interim GM Brad Kullman, director of international scouting and player development Johnny Almaraz, Beattie and Maddox.
ROSTER MOVE: Reds pitcher Bubba Nelson, designated for assignment Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for newly signed relief pitcher Rick White, cleared waivers Friday.
The Reds then outrighted Nelson to Triple-A Louisville and invited him to major-league spring training. In 42 relief appearances with Double-A Chattanooga last season, Nelson went 2-4 with a 4.61 ERA and 12 saves.
MINOR CHANGE: Reds minor-league infield coordinator Freddie Benavides will handle the responsibilities of minor-league field coordinator until a replacement for Bob Miscik is hired. The Reds fired Miscik Friday.

BY KEVIN KELLY | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER

<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT-->The Reds met Monday with two more candidates for the general manager's job.

Braves assistant GM Frank Wren and Reds special assistant to the GM Leland Maddox were the last of nine confirmed candidates to interview since the process began one week ago.

Team officials now are expected to decide if there is a consensus favorite or a need to conduct a second round of interviews with a group of finalists.

The seven other confirmed candidates are Reds director of international scouting and player development Johnny Almaraz, Phillies assistant GM Mike Arbuckle, Reds special adviser Jim Beattie, Twins assistant GM Wayne Krivsky, Reds interim GM Brad Kullman, Cardinals assistant GM John Mozeliak and White Sox director of player development David Wilder.

Reds close in on GM

Decision likely by end of week

BY JOHN FAY | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER

<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT-->The Reds expect to have a new general manager in place by Friday, chief executive officer Bob Castellini said Tuesday.
The finalists from a list of nine candidates who interviewed will be called back for second interviews.
"It's somewhere in the neighborhood" of two or three finalists, Castellini said.
Wayne Krivsky, the Minnesota Twins' assistant general manager, and Jim Beattie, a Reds special adviser, are among the finalists, according to a baseball source. Both declined to comment Tuesday.
"I'm going to let it come from (Reds chief operating officer) John Allen," Krivsky said. "He's scheduling things."
Allen did not return a call Tuesday. But through a spokesman, Allen said the Reds would have no more announcements until the general manager is named.
Krivsky was the choice of many within the Reds organization in 2003, but Dan O'Brien got the job. O'Brien was fired Jan. 23.
Krivsky has been with the Twins since 1994 and helped make the small-market team competitive. Beattie was executive vice president of the Baltimore Orioles.
Mike Arbuckle, the Philadelphia Phillies assistant general manager, said Tuesday that he's out of the running: "They called me and said they were going in a different direction."
Two others - Atlanta assistant general manager Frank Wren and Johnny Almaraz, Reds director of international scouting and player development - said they've heard nothing since their interviews.
The other four candidates did not return calls Tuesday:
Brad Kullman, the Reds interim general manager.
Leland Maddox, Reds scout and former scouting director.
David Wilder, Chicago White Sox assistant general manager.
John Mozeliak, St. Louis assistant general manager.
Castellini said he's confident the Reds will make the right hire.
"We felt like we had the best people available in," he said.
