Walt Jocketty has to make a move for this bullpen or a offensive bat
I have beaten a dead horse but, walt jocketty has to make a move for this bullpen or a offensive bat, I realize what he's doing with russ springer and izzy but, something has to be done from the outside where a guy who is doing good in the market can come over here and make some immediate impact, the reds will not win this division within their own system, I'm the biggest diehard reds fan this side of the country but, you guys know as much as i do, things need to be done and hopefully walt will make a move, I just hope the cards don't make a move and we don't respond because they could run away with this NL central.
I still have hope in my reds, we have had a great season soo far, and today looks like another loss but, still we will be 4-3 on this homestand, as long as they go to houston and milwaukee and eek out a 8-5 record in the next few games, i'll be please, yall have a good day!! back to work for me. thoughts?

I wonder how much it would cost for Lindstrom?

anything over say a A or AA level B ranked player is to much.

Geez, how many of these type of threads are the moderators going to allow? It seems like a new one pops up every other day.

The only bat I would look at trading for is DeJesus from KC and putting him in CF. He doesn't have nearly as much range and speed as Stubbs or Heisey, but he's still pretty solid. And being able to plant a bat in the lead-off spot with a .380 OBP percentage would allow us to keep BP hitting 2nd and move Cabrera down in the lineup where he belongs. Not to mention, he'll probably see better success, moving from the AL to the NL, playing half of his games at GAB, and playing for a contender. That's the only bat I would trade for right now.
As far as starting pitching goes...I'm not sure. Really don't see much available that would bolster our starting pitching by a wide margin. There's no point to make a trade for the sake of making a trade.
And the bullpen definitely could use some improvement, but the problem is, it's slim pickings for bullpen help. If we want to land a good reliever, it's going to be 'The Trade' all over again and we're going to have to give up a good amount in return. Let's just hope Isringhausen thinks it's 2003.
