Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
link: Hanrahan to Red Sox
I say the Reds need to trade for Hanrahan. How awesome would it be to have Hanigan, Hanahan, and Hanrahan on the same team?

That was my plan to get Tim McCarver to retire.

The only thing better would be a team that had Pokey, Gookie, and Corky. Oh, wait...

Re: Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
Hanrahan's walk rate jumped through the roof last year. He is likely to get expensive in terms of salary soon, too. I think I would take him for some non-prospects, but my bet is that the Red Sox are already offering something of value for him.

This is a good time to move Hanrahan, IMO, if I was the Pirates.

Re: Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
Hanrahan in for the Reds to close. He replaces Hand. It's a bunt to third. Hanrahan just misses it, but Hannahan picks it up and throws home to Hanigan on the squeeze play.
We need to acquire Hand, Hanrahan, and Tommy Hanson to have a monopoly on Hans.

Re: Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
This reminds me of the Spring Training game where almost every players first name started with a J or my desire for the Reds to field a team full of guys with names starting with a Y

Re: Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
I love this deal since it almost invariably makes the Pirates a lesser team. Thin out that bullpen and put more demands on the fragile psyche of Jared Hughes. Great plan ... if you're a Reds fan.

Done, it's Hanrahan and Brock Holt for Mark Melancon, Jerry Sands, Stolmy Pimentel, and Ivan DeJesus.

Re: Red Sox about to aquire Hanrahan?
I wonder if Melancon might return to form away from the mess that was Bobby Valentine.
I don't get them including Brock Holt. Is DeJesus the key?
