Nothing against Johnny Gomes, who has had a good spring, but the track record isn't that great. I rather see the Reds acquire another veteran option.
Who to trade? How about Bill Bray back to Washington for Willingham? Reds could go with Danny Herrera as the second lefty in the pen with Pedro Viola in Louisville waiting in the wings.

I would love to have Josh Willingham and I don't think the asking price would be too much talent-wise, but it all depends on whether or not Jocketty is allowed to add his $2.95M salary...
