January 9, 200818 yr According to this: http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/redsinsider/2008/01/reds-interested-in-fogg.asp The righty starter recently turned 31. As Fay notes, he made $3.625MM in 2007.
January 9, 200818 yr I would hope the Reds avoid him like the plague. I don't care if he pitched in Colorado and that can raise a person's ERA. GABP might be more hitter friendly nowadays than Coors. He is another version of Milton, stay far, far away.
January 9, 200818 yr Maybe he is worth a shot. He couldn't be any worse than what they have trotted to the mound the last few seasons.
January 9, 200818 yr Fogg is around .500 lifetime, with minimal K's and fairly good control. He's a contact pitcher and pitching in a park like GABP, will not help a guy who allows 24± HR's a year. His best year is 12-12....If they get him, hopefully will help and right now, 10-12 wins a year in the #4/#5 slot, is a chance I would take.

I agree, if they can't do any better, a guy who has won at least 10 games 5 of the last 6 years would be ok for the 5th starter.

GABP could be a bad fit for him but you not looking for an ace--12 wins out of your 5 spot is pretty decent.

January 10, 200818 yr I think the Reds are done spending money this year... I hope not, and I don't think they are.
January 10, 200818 yr If the Reds sign him and he wins 10-12 games then he will finish as thier #2 starter. No other Red will win more than 12 games except Harang.
