I know this sounds crazy but you know who should be an inspiration for small markets- the Yankees!

After he lost out on Cliff Lee, Cashman went out for a total of $8.55 million guaranteed, acquired a starting catcher (Russell Martin) two starting pitchers (Freddy Garcia) and (Bartolo Colon) a productive utilityman, (Eric Chavez), and an effective middle reliever, (Luis Ayala) all of whom had major contributions to the Yankees' winning of the AL East.

Add 5 guys like that to the Reds and they are back in contention.
