If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
Pick ONE player that could be available (sorry no Pujols).
I'd take Miguel Tejada for the rest of the year. SS is the biggest problem offensively. I think we'd see more scoring from a lineup like this: CF Dickerson C Hanigan 1st Votto SS Tejada 2nd Phillips RF Bruce 3B EE LF Nix/Gomes

Tejada is a FA after the season so IF they can't stay in the race...

If we could add any player that is available I would probably go with Roy Halladay.
I know the Reds need offense but I couldn't pass him up unless a big bat like Pujols was available and we know he won't be. |

True they're not the Mets.

Prospects for David Weathers and Ramon Hernandez?

Re: If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
We need a good young Shortstop. Believe it or not there are some out there.
Our current Front Office and Scouting Staff has as much chance of finding one as a needle in a haystack. Why do I say this? The Cincinnati Reds Organization named Pitching and Defense the main priority going into the 2009 season. That's all well an good. But...They went out and signed Mike Lincoln, David Weathers, Jerry Hairston JR. and Willie Freakin' Taveras to big bucks in the name of Pitching and Defense. Call me crazy but I see something horribly wrong with this picture.

Realistic addition ? I think Roy Halliday for EE, Maloney Stubbs and Homer. Would be serious great addition. I preclude this by saying you deal Roy for needs at mlb level come the offseason

Re: If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
I like Jhonny Peralta who would be more than a rental and would upgrade the biggest weakness on the roster. But I think more than 1 is needed.
Two deals: 1. Josh Roenicke, Ramon Ramirez, Chris Valaika and Willy T for Jhonny Peralta and Rafael Betancourt. Cleveland gets a power arm in the pen along with a swing man type and Valaika may go right into the line-up at 2B or 3B. Taveras evens the money a bit while giving the Indians a stop gap OF to allow Grady Sizemore to get his elbow surgery out of the way and reduces the risk for 2010. Peralta becomes the starting SS and Betancourt fits in the pen. Hairston platoons in CF wth Dickerson the rest of the year. 2. Matt Maloney, Drew Stubbs, Danny Dorn, Juan Francisco and Matt Klinker for Matt Holiday and Dana Eveland. Line-up and depth (Still Plenty) Dickerson/Hairston CF Peralta SS Votto 1B Holiday LF Phillips 2B Bruce/Gomes RF EdE 3B Hernandez/Hanigan C Janish IF Nix OF Sutton IF (AAA) Cozart IF (AAA) Richar IF (AAA) Rosales IF (AAA) Heisey OF (AAA) Frazier OF (AAA) Cueto Harang Volquez Arroyo Owings Bailey Eveland (AAA) Lecure (AAA) Wood (AAA) Lehr (AAA) Cordero Masset Weathers Rhodes Betancourt Herrera Fisher Manuel Burton Stewart (AAA) Viola (AAA)

FYI - Maicer Izturis is sitting on the bench (behind Aybar). Would look good at SS for the rest of 2009 & 2010 while we wait and see if Cozart is the real deal.

Re: If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
Two trades I make:
Harang, Fisher, and Dorn to the Angels for Santana and Wood Fransico, Maloney, Roenicke, and Stubbs to A's for Holliday

Re: If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
It's an interesting question, and you have to ask yourself, is one player going to make the difference with this team? Would one position player effectively make this team a World Series caliber team? Would a good hitting shortstop be enough for the Reds to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox of the world come October? I don't think so.
That's why I'd have to say Roy Halladay. He would give the Reds one nasty starting rotation, arguably among the best in the game, and set them up quite nicely for a short series playoff run.

Re: If you could add only one player for the rest of this year who would you add?
The reason why I started this thread asking that specific question was that I don't think the Reds will acquire a starting pitcher, an outfielder, a 3rd baseman, and a shortstop. I know some would love that but I just don't think it's realistic. Hopefully Cueto does well today. And if Volquez is back in 2-3 weeks we should have a better rotation than most teams again. The bigger problem will still be the offense. So if you CAN add one player would it still be a pitcher or a position player? And if you say position player then which position?
I picked a ss cuz, imo, shortstop is where a good hitter would provide the most improvement offensively over the players that are expected to play there now.
