Lets say our owner tells Walt he will pay whatever the cost is for 1 major addition in the offseason. Which player should Walt get?

Cawford, and I don't even have to think about it. Although, I'd take either (and we'll get neither).

I love Crawford and would love to see him in a Reds uniform, but we saw once again yesterday the importance of having an ace on your pitching staff. If we already had a stud pitcher, I'd take Crawford over Lee. But we don't, so I voted for Cliff Lee.
I voted for Lee but considering that Crawford is only 9 years old I think I'm going to have to change my mind.

LOL!! I had to look that up to see what you were talking about!!
Seriously though, I voted for Lee and any ace brothers and cousins he might have laying around!! People can talk all they want about how great the Phillies are, give the Reds the same pitchers and we RAKE!!!!!!
I vote Lee. I really like Crawford and it would be tough if it was an option but we need a dominant #1 hands down no questions asked ace.
Exactly how well did the mighty Philly offense do against our pitching? What like 4 runs off of 5 hits? Had our SS not been old and poor in the field it's a difference game. If we have Crawford and not Gomes in LF it's a different game. We have pitching, what we don't have is a leadoff hitter who can play incredible defense in the field.
I vote Crawford. I would love to have Lee but hes 32 and you know hes gonna want a long, expensive 5 or 6 year deal. Not a big fan of giving pitchers in thier 30's long term deals. I would have a feeling the final 2 years of that deal he would not be worth what he was making.
Team needs an all around solid LF much more than an ace pitcher. Throw in their ages and it's not even a fair question, imo.

Good pitching > good hitting. I think Heisey in left is good enough to fill the hole. I voted Lee
Cincinnati Reds
Marshall Thundering Herd
Kentucky Wildcats
Indianapolis Colts
Washington Wizards
Lee would make us better right now but he wants a long term deal that could really hurt us the final couple years.
At this point in the careers, give me Crawford and go out and trade for a pitcher with some potential to be that ace. We have the prospects to part with. Lee's age right now kinda deters me. If you give me a similar question asking me whether I want King Felix or Crawford, I'll take Felix. All depends on the age for me.
