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

Re: One Name
Given what I assume their costs to be, Denard Span (over Upton or Ellsbury).

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

Re: One Name
Verlander, as realistic as many names listed so far.

Re: One Name
Fowler may be the most realistic.

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.
