July 15, 201115 yr Author The Reds don't need more parts to be mixed and matched and plugged in here and there. What they really need is a big hitter in the middle of their lineup. They need someone to give them what Rolen gave them the first half of last season. I'd say leadoff is just as big of a need.
July 15, 201115 yr I'd run from Francoeur has fast as possible. For sure... Melky would be something I would look at.
July 15, 201115 yr Juan Francisco has hit 5 HRs in his last 10 games @ Louisville but his defense could be too reminiscent of EE.
July 15, 201115 yr Author So according to http://mlbtraderumors.com, the Reds are in the market for a RH OF bat, RP, & SP.....So pretty much, a little of everything. :lol:
July 15, 201115 yr ^ I don't see RP being an issue really. Would be the very very last thing I would be worried about.
July 15, 201115 yr ^ I don't see RP being an issue really. Would be the very very last thing I would be worried about. I agree. The Reds' bullpen as a whole may be the strongest part of this team. Cordero - above average Masset - probably one of the top 5 setup men in the NL Bray - every team in baseball would love to have him as a bullpen lefty Chapman - looks to be back to being the Missile Ondrusek - having a great year 1.67 ERA and 1.12 WHIP Arredondo - very good stuff, soldi while working his way back from injury LeCure - very solid in the middle role There are no holes in that bullpen and virtually every slot is well above the league average.
July 15, 201115 yr Looking like someone is the bullpen is going on the DL and Horst is coming back up.
July 15, 201115 yr Author Looking like someone is the bullpen is going on the DL and Horst is coming back up. Arrendondo.
July 15, 201115 yr ^ I don't see RP being an issue really. Would be the very very last thing I would be worried about. Not according to Jocketty.
July 15, 201115 yr Looking like someone is the bullpen is going on the DL and Horst is coming back up. Great so he can sit out there for over 2 weeks without being used.
July 15, 201115 yr Not according to Jocketty. Maybe he should worry about his starters, 98 year old 3B and 3 headed monster in LF.
July 15, 201115 yr Melky has a WAR of 3.0 which is better than Berkman, Teixeira, Pence, Pujols, Ethier, and Cargo.
July 15, 201115 yr Looking like someone is the bullpen is going on the DL and Horst is coming back up. A made up injury so that they can add a lefty to the pen for this weekend? Why do they need another lefty for this weekend, to face Rasmus and Schumaker and turn Berkman around?
