He's awful. No thanks.

What scares me is this is probably the best Walt can do for getting help.
While I'll always root for this team as hard as I can, lately I've been thinking this won't be the year I was hoping for.

The Nolasco trade gave me hope. This was the second best arm truly available for purchase and most seem to be of the opinion it was for three warm bodies. The Reds problem is that if they acquire a bat it has to be at SS, 3B or LF/Right handed platoon type OF guy. I still see a bullpen upgrade as most likely, but a guy like Delmon Young might be available, and of interest to the Reds.

I'd say there was more than just the bat toss incident as it relates to Delmon Young's baggage.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I'd rather be water boarded than see Francoeur in a Reds uniform.

Can Young hit better than the other guys currently on the team? Did he destroy Detroit last year? Is he right handed with pop? Will he cost a lot to acquire? Does he make too much money?

I would rather try to teach Donald Lutz how to bat right handed at the major league level than give Francoeur a spot on the roster. If Francoeur is our best available option to upgrade the team, you might as well build an iceberg above the bullpen in left center field for the river boat in center field to crash into.
