If some of these rumors are true this could be our lineup and what their 2018 Average was.
I hate giving up prospects but I like this lineup. Righty Left all the way down the lineup.
Perraza .288
Vote .284
Kemp .290
Gennet .310
Suarez .288
Winker .299
Realmuto .278
Inciarte .265
Pitching
Castillo
Wood
Kuechel
Roark

So is Kemp a LF or a RF? Last year he made most of his starts as a LF. And where would Winker play if he's not a LF?
Yeah Kemp and Winker in the same OF would be brutal, and it's not like our IF defense set the world on fire last year. If we acquire Kemp in a trade with LA he needs to be flipped to an AL team in need of a DH.

Just stick Senzel in RF in this situation and leave kemp alone. Or get puig who isn’t a great defender, but is at least an RF..
Sees starting 8 without Senzel.
Sees Perraza, Gennet, and Vote.
Closes thread.

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

Kemp is due $21 million, he's hard to "flip." That's exactly why the Dodgers are taking on Homer Bailey. You going to pay someone $15 million to take Kemp? Doubt Reds will do that.Originally Posted by JCM11
I see further moves (not salary dumps) rearranging the outfield. There also could be an outfield rotation which worked pretty well last year. Some of these guys don't need to play every day and several are injury prone.

we should trade for mike trout and sign bryce harper
According to Dick a couple of months ago, RF belongs to Winker.
Only if they keep him and scheb. Both are more LFs than RFs.
If the Reds got Kemp for Bailey in some kind of deal then it makes a Winker trade to an AL team for a starter almost imperative. I agree that Winker Kemp in the corners would be brutal defensively. Some kind of deal like Winker for Cobb, or Winker as part of a Kluber or Bauer deal (with more added around those principals obviously) or even Winker in part of a blockbuster LA deal that included Kemp or Puig, and Wood and Hill.
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
Reds acquire Realmuto (Trammell as the principal Reds part) and send Barnhart to LA with Gutierrez, Isabel and Bailey for Kemp, Joe's rights and Wood? Then flip Winker, Hughes and India to Cleveland for Bauer.

Senzel CF
Schebler LF
I added Isabel for Joe to the deal simply bc LA might still be intrigued by Isabel's raw power enough to swap prospects and take Isabel back into the Dodger fold. Peripherals indicate, to me anyway, that Joe has a better chance of being a big league hitter. Probably a lot better. Just an idea but LA might not like it or want to clutter up the main deal. Maybe as a separate swap. Then Joe could go to Louisville as an emergency stash. Farm is barren after these deals though and Senzel's promo. Greene, Gray, Friedl, Stephenson, Garcia, Downs, Joe and Santillan are about all that's left. That's a small core for a farm system.

I was thinking Winker in Right and Kemp in Left. Maybe we get Puig instead of Kemp and have him play Right and Winker in left. At least Puig has a good arm. I know defensively it hurts that is why they need to deal for Inciarte a Gold glove in Center. This would be better than Schebler, Senzel and Winker.

I would never give up Senzel and India for Bauer.
Wow! Those are some really low projected-ops's.
