Wily Mo hate to see you go
Earlier today, the Reds made their first big big splash, by trading hard hitter Wily Mo Pena for guitar playing cornrow sporting righthander Bronson Arroyo. In terms of a baseball move, this is a tremendous pickup. Not only does Arroyo move to the top of the rotation as the clear ace and opening day starter (sorry Mr. Claussen), he's also obviously the best pitcher that the Reds have had in years.
Bronson Arroyo is a stud. And after watching Buster Olney give the Reds pretty much no shot at even making .500 this year on ESPN's Cold Pizza this morning, this trade is great news. Good job Wayne.
