    Reds grab a starting CF who has decent obp and a great glove (not to mention the Kentucky connection) and a part-time catcher and pinch hitter to platoon with Hanigan. (If need be, Navarro can come up as Votto rehabs, with Doumit and Frazier sharing 1B, Doumit playing some in LF, and catching occasionally.)

    Cost effective this year and for the foreseeable future.
    So who's catching for now and the next 5 years?

    Doumit sure aint. No offense, but that trade is really bad for the Reds.

    The Reds would get robbed in that trade. I don't like it.

    I wouldn't take Doumit straight up for Mesoraco right now let alone in 2-3 years.

    Yeah Scrap put the stuff from your desk in a box because you're fired as GM after that deal.

    Didn't Doumit just sign like a 3 year extension recently?

    You don't want Capps now. I saw this morning on the MLB Network he went to the DL with rotator cuff problems.

    The Reds can trade their Competitive Balance Lottery pick (1st round #36) starting tomorrow. They are allowed to trade this pick as long as it is before the end of this season.

    It just occurred to me moments ago that perhaps this is what may have been holding up a flurry of trades (other than the usual "deadline" itself). Perhaps some clubs have been waiting to see who will have picks available, where they fall etc. We'll see.

    Yeah I was thinking the same. Glad the Cards got blanked on that front.

    Did they get blanked or are they in the second tier?
