We aren't the type of organization that should have 37 year old 3rd baseman. We need to constantly be churning out older players for newer/younger players. That's how we got into this mess. We had no business giving BP that contract. Todd would be the same thing. By the time we had a team around him that could actually compete, he'd be 34-35 and on the decline.

It sucks and I like Todd as much as any Reds fan, but it's time to take our medicine and really try to get back to the small market philosophy.
