    Reds sign a 7'1 dude to a minor league deal

    rotoworld's take
    Reds signed RHP Loek Van Mil to a minor league contract.
    The 7'1 native of the Netherlands, has struggled to find consistency over seven seasons in the minor leagues. Still just 28-years-old, he possesses tremendous stuff and could crack the major league bullpen if he improves his command.

    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    Can't wait to see him start powerbombing batters who hang over the plate.

    Didn't the Reds have the tallest pitching staff last season?

    The Reds could easily field a team which could comptete in the Big Ten or Big East at Basketball.
    B Ham at Point, Amir Garrett Lucas O Rear, this 7'1" guy, etc

    With the mess the Big East is in right now, they'd probably take them

    Play him in left - nothing is getting over the wall on him, he could probably snag a ball that would normally land in the 3rd row without jumping!

    No thanks. That gig blew up an entire season one year when Bobby Tolan hurt his achilles tendon with a Reds offseason basketball team.
