All Things Bubba

The Reds have posted their 2007 media guide to their Web site. It's on the Fan Forum page (scroll down to the bottom right). It's in PDF format, in multiple parts. There are photos of each player, with detailed stats and career histories. Bubba is on page 77 of the Player A-K section.

(I don't think the Yankees do this. Their media guide is sold in dead-tree form at games, but I don't think they offer it for free download.)

In other Reds news, the Reds have locked up Harang in a multi-year contract. Seems like a good deal for both sides. They've also signed possible closer Eddie Guardado. (He got a minor league deal, so no roster move was needed.) Krivsky seems to be hoping he can help the team by mid-season, but I have my doubts. He had Tommy John surgery in September, and I suspect he'll miss the whole 2007 season. Or at least, not pitch very well this year if he does come back. Krivsky says relievers recover faster than starting pitchers. Yeah, that's what the Yankees thought when they signed Octavio Dotel.
