    One Name

    In a word, who is the one player you'd like to see the Reds acquire this offseason?

    Please try to keep it realistic. I'll start:

    J.UPTON
    Go BLUE!!!

    Given what I assume their costs to be, Denard Span (over Upton or Ellsbury).
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    Beni you really had me fooled on your choice. I didn't suspect you would pick Upton

    Somehow forgot about Josh. I'd like to change my vote - Josh Willingham

    Re: One Name

    Fowler may be the most realistic.
    Is it "next season" yet?

    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    Re: One Name

    The only player I can think of with one name is Ichiro, and he's past his sell-by date.

    As far as players with two names go, I'm not sure. I'd probably go with Fowler, but I'm open.
