Reds sign Cesar Izturis
I haven't seen any mention of the Reds signing Cesar Izturis, but I was looking at the Reds official roster and noticed Izturis listed on the non roster invitees for Spring Training. He's a quality defensive shortstop, not a bad little depth signing.

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
I can't believe they didn't hold a press conference to announce this
 (Referencing Van Der Walls signing years ago, during the dark times)

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
His Wiki page says that he's a member of our organization but no mention of a signing. Oh well. Nice to have him. We do need a SS

This report says that the Jays signed him back in November. Hope it's wrong and the Reds have him.

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
The Jays signed Maicer, and then it was reported that they signed Cesar, but that report was not accurate.

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
The article must be inaccurate. I see the signings of Macier and Julio Izturis, but not Cesar. Also, the Reds show him as signed on 1/9/13.

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
I guess there's at least something behind Cozart now.

Re: The Reds signed Cesar Izturis?
Would he be willing to be the every day SS in Louisville? If so, this signing is even better. He fits the bill for a good glove man who I want to be the fill in for Cozart if he goes on the DL. He may even fit the roster better than Jason Donald if he will not accept an assignment to Louisville. I know Cesar can't hit, but I want a good defensive SS to be the long-term fill in if Cozart goes down.

RedsZone is slipping. This should've been at least a 25-page thread by Jan. 10.
