Re: Reds get Ortiz

Unfortunately I have the sinking feeling we will non-tender DJ in order to pay for the arbitration of Ortiz. We can only dream that DJ can be turned into a Moseley type prospect before then.

Re: Reds get Ortiz

I really hope the Reds have given this guy's arm a good once or twice over before making this deal.

As Puffy said, at least he knocks one of the three H's out of the rotation.

Re: Reds get Ortiz

This is pretty much the equivalent of getting Cory Lidle last year, IMO.
