Re: Per Yahoo, the complete Free Agent List for 2007

any way we could use this as like an official FA tracking thread? Maybe a sticky and some people can constantly keep it upgraded with the latest signings throughout MLB?

Aramis Ramirez agreed to a 5 year contract with the Cubs today. Kerry Wood also agreed to a 1 year deal.

I'm pretty sure Percival, Radke, Alex S. Gonzalez, and Randa have retired. Bagwell and Mercker probably too, last I heard.

Re: Per Yahoo, the complete Free Agent List for 2007

There's 1 definite I wish we'd re-sign: Scott Schoeneweis

There's 1 maybe we should re-sign for the right price: Rich Aurilia

As for the rest of the list available, these are the guys I'd like us to realistically pursue:

Mark Loretta
Doug Mientkiewicz
Shannon Stewart
Octavio Dotel
Gary Matthews Jr.
Frank Catalanotto
Justin Speier
Danys Baez
Wes Helms
Tomo Ohka
Chad Bradford
David Dellucci
Todd Walker
Tony Armas Jr

Unfortunately, that's only 6 pitchers and 8 position players. Obviously we won't sign all of this list, therefore, if I had to really narrow from this list, I'd go with....

Octavio Dotel
Justin Speier
Chad Bradford
Tony Armas Jr
Frank Catalanotto
David Dellucci

There's my 6. I guarantee we're a much better team if Krivsky goes after these guys. Unfortunately, he won't. So now we're all stuck until Opening Day waiting to see how our 2007 Reds look like.

Re: Per Yahoo, the complete Free Agent List for 2007

If Jaret Wright filed for Free Agency on November 10th... how was he dealt to Baltimore for Chris Britton?

Yankees had a $7 Million option with a $4 Million Buyout. The Yankees had a deadline date to decide that was after the Free Agency filing period ended. Wright filed in case the Yankee chose the buyout.

The Yankees figured they were on the hook for $4 Million anyway so they exercised the option and included that $4 Million in the deal to trade Wright.

So Baltimore traded a guy who will be 24 next year and in 53+ innings put up an ERA of 3.35 with a HR Rate/9 of .67 a K Rate/9 of 6.88 and a Walk rate/9 of 2.85 for the right to have a run of the mill RH starter who isn't much if any better than what they have and they still pay $3 Million.

The Reds should be shopping Kyle Lohse to fill other holes. They'll get something decent IMO.

Re: Per Yahoo, the complete Free Agent List for 2007

If I'm the Reds this would be my lineup

C-David Ross
1B-Scott Hatteburg
2B-Adam Kennedy
SS-Brandon Phillips
3B-Edwin Encarnacion
RF-Ken Griffey
CF-Juan Pierre
LF-Adam Dunn

1. Aaron Harang
2. Bronson Arroyo
3. Ted Lilly
4. Tomo Ohka
5. Eric Milton

Closer Danyz Baez

I put this together under the assumption that there would be no trades. Which I know there will be but if they can't get anything done these are good cost effective signings.

I have to respectfully disagree with these 3. Adam Kennedy is a no stick not much more glove 2B, Juan Pierre is an all glove no stick low OBP lead off man, and Ted Lilly will end up being Eric Milton revisited for us. We're gonna spend way too much money and hardly get any return on our investment. IMO, Tomo Ohka is a better option for #3 than Ted Lilly. He's gonna cost us less, and might actually offer better production.

Pure speculation, but Rotoworld.com envisions Ted Lilly signing with the Dodgers for 4 years, $30 million.

They have the Reds signing Joe Borowski as closer for 2 years and $10 million.

They also speculate that the Reds will fill their middle infield void with the venerable Jose Valentin. A good guy to have, but hardly a prototypical Krivsky player.

5M a year for a closer not worth 5M a year. If LaRue's behind the plate, that'll give us a 10M battery. Phenomenal.
