It is incumbent upon me, though, to comment on Jason LaRue's departure.  LaRue for a PTBNL.  And we pay half his salary.  That is an ignominious end to LaRue's tenure in Cincinnati, but his sub .700 OPS necessitated it--especially with the fat $4.3M salary given to LaRue by Krivsky's predecessors.

I always kinda liked LaRue--even when he led the league in passed balls, which was maddening.  But this was an excellent business decision--even when paying half his salary--to save the other half and free up the roster spot.

(Now if only the Reds had saved that spot for something more than Chad Moeller) . . . .
