I don’t know if you are a fantasy baseball player (I used to be, but haven’t played in a couple of years), but if so, check out the five Reds to watch over at The Fantasy Baseball Generals.
I agree with the point that their was no reason to go out and sign Cordero if you were not committed to winning right now. Forget the arb clock and other considerations, put your best team on the field right now. We have a great shot at the post season this year in this division, we need to just sell out and do it. Let Votto and Keppinger platoon at first, Put Bruce in center, and let Patterson be your fourth OF. That gives you Freel, Hatte, Javy, Patterson, and either Kepp or Votto on your bench. A little heavy lefty, but I’ll take it. Cut Castro and Stanton, put Affeldt in the pen, start your best 5, and let’s get the party started.
