If I could have any FA off that list it would be Tom Gorzelanny...

Re: Available remaining free agents
I'd take Kelly Johnson - of course, I don't have to pay him.

Re: Available remaining free agents
Some names on there I am surprised to still see available. One thing I'd like for the Reds to consider would be a strong defensive outfielder for the bench, but I think Heisey will probably end up being their only spare outfield coming out of spring training.

Re: Available remaining free agents
Oh come on now, don't you all want the Reds to take a flyer on Carlos Zambrano?

Having Ryan Sweeney in camp to compete for the fifth OF spot wouldn't hurt either.

Re: Available remaining free agents
Abreu if he's cheap and he should be, would be a great lefthanded bat off the bench.

Re: Available remaining free agents
I wouldn't mind Kelly Shoppach to be this year's Dioneer Navarro.

Re: Available remaining free agents
I wouldn't be surprised if Francisco Liriano somehow wound up in Goodyear. Walt was said to be in on him at the deadline last year. Liriano is left handed and has a pulse, what more do you want?
