He's playing 3B for the Yankees (not A-Rod). He would be a bench guy for us though.
Morgan Ensberg?
Matt Kemp? Matt LaPorta? Matt Maloney?
Go BLUE!!!
Matt Kemp would be my first choice though I'm not sure where he plays this season especially since Bruce should be the first candidate to push his way into center. Kemp would obviously be miscast in center though he'd likely be a plus defender in right but for the sake of biding time it would at least be an idea.
Kemp would probably require Bailey for discussions to even get rolling.

I'll throw out my proposal again. Dunn and Bailey for Kemp.
The Dodgers have been interested before, his HRs go out anywhere.
Bruce and Kemp as your new cornerstones in the OF. Ones that can run and field as well. Reds have more than enough pitching depth in the minors to dangle Homer, they also free up some $ next year w/ Griff and Dunn money to attract a high quality veteran OF, and a decent starter or two.
Do it.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Go BLUE!!!
The answer maybe a swap to acquire Cuddyer, bad money goes both ways aka Gonzalez and Javy V
2006 Redzone mock Draftee's- 1(st) Daniel Bard(redsox), 1(st sup)( Jordan Walden (Angels), 2(nd) rd.- Zach Britton(Orioles), 3(rd) Blair Erickson(Cardinals), 3(rd) Tim Norton( Yankees),(cuz its a Tim Hortons thing
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
Maybe we could trade Arroyo to the Nats for Wily Mo Pena.

Where's "Cincinatti"?
Edwin Encarnacion.
If placed in the right spot of the the order.

Pujols works for me. I have high expectations from our new GM and a can do spirit.
Do you suppose St. Louis would take Griffey, Dunn and EE straight up for him?
I posted the above to make a point that Cincinnati has more “white whales” than a lack of a right handed bat. I thought that someone would say, “St. Louis would not do that, they would not take Griffey, Dunn, and Encarcion straight up for Pujols". It at least should make us think about what the Reds really have vs. hope they have.
That should tell us what Kc61 and others are saying, “the Reds need to improve the core of the offense”, is true, when the Reds best would not be acceptable to the Cards for one player.
St. Louis and staff know something about winning, something that the Reds don’t. They need more than a middling right handed bat, they need some premiere players. The Reds have sold us that they have some and think that they have some but, in the current day they don’t.
