If you were the Cincinnati Reds GM, would you do this deal.

  • Ironman92
    Do anything like this is good....but I will continue to believe we could have Jiminez, Halladay, Bell, Sabathia, Granderson and Dusty and Jacoby couldn't make it work.
  • Midstate01
    according to Tracy Ringolsby (The Jim Day for the Rockies) Jerry Walker Walt's Top aide is @ Coors Field tonight and guess who is pitching Ubaldo Jimenez does this mean a deal is soon?? Coincidence? yeah right
  • Midstate01
    “@Buster_ESPN: Among the pitchers that the Reds are targeting: TB's James Shields. This could be why TB scouts evaluating CIN minor leaguers this week.”
  • Ty Webb
    It is now being reported that Colorado would want catcher Devin Mesoraco in a package for Jimenez.

    Cincinnati is also looking at Chone Figgins and Coco Crisp.

    I am hearing here that the Reds are the leading contender to take Jason Isringhausen off our hands, I wonder what that deal would look? Can't see Cincy giving up much more than a couple of Tier 3 prospects

    Braves looking to trade McCann and Kimbrel for Janish and cash.

    That is pretty funny.
  • karen lotz
    Reds might not pull trigger on it and will try to get Wren to sweeten the deal.

    I would imagine the chances of the Reds giving up Mesoraco are pretty slim, Grandal maybe.

    I dont see that happening either.

    It would be a risk for the Reds, since we don't know what Meso will do in the majors, but Grandal could also be the next Alonso, a player w/o no opportunity at his position.

    When you are looking to upgrade your playoff chances and the guys names are Chone and Coco.....well....
  • thavoice
    I think Meseraco is the catcher of the future and they wont part with him. There is a logjam of guys who can play 1b and LF that probably will get the boot.
  • justincredible
    They can't get rid of Mesoraco. Middle of the order catchers don't come around often. When you have one, you keep it.

    Which really has me bummed about the McCann for Janish talk.

    Yea, I would imagine that if the Rockies are dead set on Meso, the Reds will put more effort into a deal for Shields.

    Mesoraco has to be off the table, Catchers are too hard to come by.

    Crisp
    Cozart
    Votto
    Philips
    Bruce
    Rolen
    Hernandez
    Heisey/Stubbs


    What do you make of this lineup?
  • se-alum
    Crisp isn't a productive player.
  • swamisez
    currently hitting .265 with 27 steals. Has nearly the same number of RBI's as Stubbs with 7 fewer homeruns.

    He also has 88 fewer strikeouts than Stubbs
