Will Miss Jose Iglesias

[grampahol]

While I think it was likely a mistake letting Iglesias go the truth is nobody knows how his season will go this year nor do we know if he would have continued playing at the same level as last year. We can pretend to be able to see into the future, but until someone is able to demonstrate that ability and sustain it for longer than a few days I'm going to assume we just don't have the ability to see into the future very well. 
For all we know Iglesias may just fall off the cliff to baseball purgatory like Zack did. On the other hand he might become the greatest SS in single season history with Baltimore.  Ya just never know. 
What struck me is last year he was quoted as saying he wanted to remain in Cincinnati, but he also fired his former agent over presumably that last minor league deal with the Reds. I think he was looking for a significant increase in pay, much more than the Reds were willing to part with and when the Reds balked he wound up having to settle for what he could get in Baltimore..at least that's my assumption.. it could have been entirely different. 
As fans we're not privy to whatever the dealings were with his agent and the Reds unless they make it all public and I doubt that's gonna happen after the fact.
