Seems like the every day lineup, bench and rotation may be pretty-much set (assuming they close the deal on Hanrahan). All that seems to be left is whittling down the bullpen, whihc is a minor embarrassment of riches.

Of course it isn't. But it is a real big part of it.
LOL. I know. I'm not getting it.
I guess it's just one of those days. It bookends the "los rojos" thread feeling rather nicely I think. Over-dramatizing and over-blowing....Redszone's off-season traditions at their finest. :O)
Cozarts the new low man on the totem pole. Look out Zack, we're coming for you.
Only minor point... I really don't see the Reds putting Leake in middle relief if he doesn't make the rotation. I think they'll use their last real chance at an option and let him start in AAA until needed.

plus Sam LeCure!
sorry we're boring

On the downside, I can't see the Reds making any more significant trades for a while...
...because they are completely set at every position. Wow.
Go BLUE!!!
Me too. Now it's like 1973 all over again.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
He was there at one point. Musta slipped off to the clubhouse to drain the lizard.
In 149 big league games, Cozart is a 3 win player according to baseball-reference.com. I'll take that from a shortstop.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
If Zack Cozart is the most pressing of our concerns, I'd say we're a legitimate World Series contender, no?
Call me crazy, but I still think Walt might have something up his sleeve. He's still got Leake available, for example. There are some teams out there that could use a pitcher like that. And I think the FO values D too much not to at least try to rectify the CF situation...
Don't get me wrong. I think they are ready to go to war with a Bruce-Choo-Ludwick OF. But I think Walt will still sniff around to see if there is a way to get better.

Why wouldn't we be? We were before this trade.
