BONG, PROSPECT TO CINCY, RIETSMA TO THE ATL
Every reader between the ages of 14-24 I'm sure has been waiting for me to talk about newly acquired Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jung Bong. Bong was acquired along with a top Atlanta pitching prospect in Bubba Nelson for Chris Rietsma. This is a good deal both ways I think. Atlanta is still holding on to hopes that they can win the NL East for the 30th year in a row, and Cincinnati is rebuilding. Atlanta's bullpen is very questionable. Unfortunately, with Bong being dealt to Cincinnati that means no more Skip Caray announcing "and that's another hit off of Bong, the third in the inning". Okay, I covered it, everybody can grow up now.
