He could be had because he's the D'Back's 4th outfielder.

That's why I said OMG. Redszone always favors guys like Dickerson, Encarnacion, Denorfia, and many others. None of them are the answer.

And, hold on to your hats, it looks like Chris is also on the DL in the minors.

Except he has 92 PAs. Who would the D-Backs want that the Reds could deal?

Not sure. When the Nationals were rumored to have interest the name floated to go to Arizona was John Lannan.

And a lifetime .731 OPS. I'd offer Votto, Bruce and Chapman autographed balls for him and see how they respond
