With some big names being tossed around and some big names already in new uniforms I like to see what the Reds do. They should have swept the hottest team in baseball or at least took 3 of 4 but managed to split the series with the Mets. If this team is going to compete this late into the season they would likly need a starter and a right handed bat. So here is my logic.
- Sign Freddy Garcia to a two year contract with incentives.
Garcia will fit in the number 4 slot following Harang, Volquez, and Arroyo. Cueto would be your 5th starter.
- Trade Homer Bailey, Matt Maloney, Josh Roenicke, and Sam Lecure to Colorado for Matt Holliday.
Holliday would re-unite with Affeldt and Fogg from last years NL Championship team and would give the Reds the right handed power bat the desperatly need.
