Now is the time for Bob C to put up or shut up (about the 'win now').

The Reds could conceivably get Halladay, Rios & Rolen in one fell swoop. How? Simply by taking the big contracts of Rolen (OPS+ 128) and Rios (having an off year, hoping a change of scenery will help).

Halladay by himself would cost a King's ransom. But by taking on the big contracts (especially Rios's contract) the cost goes down.
