December 1, 200817 yr Get Jermaine Dye and Rafeal Furcal. The Idea is farfetched according to mlbtraderumors. It claims the reds are financial terms away from getting Dye and That the reds are one of three teams Furcal will go to along with the A's and the Giants. Imagine this lineup SS-Furcal 2B-Phillips/ LF Bruce LF-Bruce/ 1B Votto RF-Dye 1B-Votto/2b Phillips 3B-EE CF-Dickerson C-Hannigan With a Rotation of: Volquez Harang Arroyo Cueto Rameriz/Thompson/ Owings That would be a very very good team if they played to their potential.
December 1, 200817 yr If they get one...they need to get the other as well. They could compete with that lineup, but IMO couldn't with only one. They need to build a winner soon.
December 1, 200817 yr I doubt the Reds get either but you never know.... I still say Furcal ends up back with the Braves.

December 1, 200817 yr What is Furcal's contract situation? He made $15m last year. He is a free agent.
December 2, 200817 yr How much are you comfortable with for him? Not enough to get him. I'm always leery of guys who have had back trouble, and his style of play would make me worry even more that the problem will be chronic.
December 2, 200817 yr Dye is a nice player, but at 34 what type of coin will he demand? I wouldn't complain if it's at a reasonable price but I have doubts.

December 2, 200817 yr I'll tell you after he signs with a team. MLB contracts are so out of hand that reasonable probably isn't a good word to use.
