Redding hurts trade value

Tim Redding's trade value just took a dip. "Jim Bowden overplayed his hand,'' one NL general manager said about the Nationals GM who is said to be seeking a haul for the solid but unspectacular starter. Redding allowed 10 hits and seven runs in four innings in an 8-5 defeat to Philadelphia, a value-killer of a performance if there ever was one. Redding is 7-6 with a 4.34 ERA , not bad for the Nats. But he didn't help himself -- or Bowden -- with that outing.

What a bad time for a horrible start....Redding could have gone to a contender. I've seen Redding pitch a number of times, and I think the story has it right.....he is solid but unspectacular. He could help a rotation, but isn't worth top prospects.

Yep, bad timing. Still, Bowden can remind everyone that it was against one of the NL's most explosive offenses.

Redding is still a very solid middle-of-the-rotation guy. He's not worth top prospects, but, If the demand is there and someone is dumb enough to pay out top prospects, then good for the Nats. The other GM then needs to be fired.
