That Didn't Take Long

Memo to Tony Womack...a career is over when you're cut loose to make room on the 40-man roster for Cody Ross.

Want to make a good first impression? Driving in 17 runs in your first week on the new job will do it. This is exactly the kind of pickup a team like the Reds should be looking for, not the kind that brought Womack in for no good reason. Phillips had his chance once and blew it, and the Offensive Stereotypes found other options. Rather than waste time with Womack or Matt Kata, the Reds were smart to give him another shot and see if he's got a future.
