Reds offer Mark Loretta 6 million for 2 years?

[gametime]

With all of this suggested moving around the big question is "Who is on First?"

Hatte from the left and Aaron Boone from the right... :sssh:

I've read Boone rumors also, but I can't see the Reds signing both Boone and Loretta. They both would fill the same role.

I believe if Loretta signs it's Hatte from the left and Mark from the right. I don't think you'll see Booney on board after the Loretta signing...assuming it happens.

Loretta has no power, not what you would want in a platoon 1B.

Hatte doesn't either...you ready to run him out of town?

 

When you are getting 20+ bombs from SS (my prediction), you can live with a high average / high on-base guy at 1B...IMHO.

According to Narron the Reds haven't made an offer to Loretta.

Hatteberg certainly has more power than Loretta. Hatteberg's OPS was in the low .800s, passable for a 1B, but I wouldn't want to count on him so heavily for 2007. Loretta's OPS was in the low .700s ... passable for a 2B but totally unacceptable for a guy on the corners.

You mean OPS and not OBP.

Darn it, I thought Westy was guaranteeing me that Hatte and Loretta would be on base 7 and 8 times out of 10. I'm so disappointed.

Correct, and corrected.

Kearns has a much better chance of further development ...
