I still think that FA Miguel Batista makes a lot of sense for the Reds. I wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr /$11M contract.
$5M first year with $6M team option for 2007 or $500K buyout.
Not in this market I wouldn't mind that.

You are correct. All of the pitchers in the tier slightly above Batista (and I would argue they are all pretty much on the same tier) will get 4+ year contacts: Meche, Padilla, Lillly, etc., etc.
Batista I think you could get on a 1year with player option for 2nd year or 2 year with team option of 3rd year.
If he does suck it, he's got bullpen experience and would make a decent long or short man out of the pen. Overpriced, of course, but useful. No other FA pitchers would likely give you that flexibility.
