Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Gotta believe this means a trade is in the works involving an outfielder, maybe Freel?
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I like this move. A lot. I've been an advocate of bringing Corey Patterson and/or Brian Anderson on board for some time now. Taking the cheapest flier possible (a minor league deal) on these guys can do nothing but help. Bruce's legs may not allow him to play CF (they may or they may not) but there's no harm in bringing in a high-upside guy like CP. Who knows, he could be this year's version of Carlos Pena (or more familiarily, Jose Guillen)- a former top prospect who finally puts it all together after a few stops along the way. Probably not, but who knows?
Hairston I care about much less, but I guess he offers some insurance/depth to a franchise with no middle infielders in the minors.

Go BLUE!!!
Junior is the one holding Bruce back, not the CFer du jour
It could mean that, although I'm giving up on predicting whether a move means there's a trade brewing. I suspect these are cogs in the machine that could allow a subsequent trade, but I'd leave it at them signing on to minor league deals because nothing was materializing and it gives us some flexibility should something come down the pike. How's that for equivocating?

Hairston??Let's just keep bringing in players into the organization with PED clouds over their heads.
Patterson isn't a bad idea, especially for a minor league contract. I wonder if it means the Reds are trying to get rid of Freel? Nah, they'll send Bruce to AAA and bring in Patterson.

There's a better chance Mr. Red will land on the moon.Could we see Phillips at SS and Hairston at 2B if Hairston has a great spring?
School's out. What did you expect?
Folks keep wanting to move Brandon Phillips over to short and the club continually shows no inclination to do that - it's a regular Redszone mantra.

I wonder what historians would rank as the best minor league deal ever.
