Re: Kent Mercker
If the Reds aren't takers, it would make some sense for Mercker to sign with Washington. Their AAA club is in Columbus, so he can live at home in Dublin while he gets his arm back into ML shape.

Re: Kent Mercker
I'd happily replace Mercker with Stanton if such a thing were possible.

Re: Kent Mercker
Honestly, might as well throw the guy a spring training invite and let him work in the minors if he does well. He can't do much worse than some of the guys out of the bullpen, and at least he's entertaining.

Re: Kent Mercker
I know mercker and he said that he wants to play for Cincinnati #1 and that he's not moving his family and that's the most important thing for him.
Why not give him a shot? Even an average reliever is a need in this bullpen

Re: Kent Mercker
Let him compete, but please, please don't let he and Stanton break camp in the same bullpen!
