Graves Situation

The Cincinnati Reds released Danny Graves today. (Via Reds Reporter, who was on this story yesterday.) I think the fact that Graves was walking two more per 9 than then was striking out had more to do with the relase than the hand gesture.

The Reds are bringing up another pitcher, keeping their staff at 13. This would have been a perfect time to trim down.

And his fastball is down to 88 mph from 94, before his disaterous season in 2003 when he went into the rotation. Plus he had a non-buyout option for next year at $6.25 million. Releasing him saves the Reds that salary (though they owe him for this year).
