Get me Parra and I'd be happy.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I am not really that familiar with the D'Backs. Why follow them after they dumped Wily Mo? Anyway would a Didi for Parra deal be fair? Overpay by the Reds? Can Parra play center regularly?
It's an overpay, IMO.
Parra plus Kubel for Leake and Gregorius might be interesting for both clubs.
Parra CF
Phillips 2B
Votto 1B
Bruce RF
Frazier 3B
Kubel LF
Cozart SS
Mesigan C
That deal would make the team a bit lefty-heavy and may be susceptible to southpaw relievers, but a bench with Stubbs, Rolen, and Heisey would allow for easy substitutions who would rake as well.
The only 2 still available on the original list are Bogaerts and Gregorius.
"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
Actually in this case, it's not about Reds' fans overvaluing him. There continue to be many, many reports online about the Diamondbacks and a few other teams really liking Gregorius a ton. I don't think this has anything to do with Reds fans but rather what a few other organizations seem to think of him.

Yeah, I honestly don't think many of us Reds fans rate Didi all that highly.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Getting to the point where I'd be satisfied with Parra or DeJesus to platoon w/Stubbs. Why do I get the feeling though that we will end up with Coco Crisp?
What about Leake, Stubbs and Gregorious for Upton? I'm sure someone already posted this on a thread somewhere, but do you think AZ bites for this offer?
