Here is my 2nd list of possible moves that the reds could make.
- Trade Adam Dunn to the dodgers for Matt Kemp and Jonathon Broxton. This gives us a nice outfield prospect who is almost ready and a very good, young bullpen arm who can be a setup man and maybe eventually close.
- Trade Scott Hatteberg and a prospect to the braves for Jared Saltalamacchia. This gives us a great catcher prospect who can play now, and it gives the braves a backup to Scott Thorman, or a possible platoon.
- Trade Ken Griffey Jr. to the White Sox for David Aardsma. This gives a sox a good outfielder, and gives us what I think to be a solid relief pitcher. He has had 3 awful starts which has made his ERA horrible, but I think that he's worth the risk.
- Release Mike Stanton, Eric Milton, Chad Moeller, and Kyle Louse. We do not need any of these guys. They are ether too old to be effective, or just not good at all. Louse is way to inconsistent, and Milton and Stanton are too consistent with being awful.
- Keep Jared Burton and Josh Hamilton on the team. Obviously, Hamilton will be kept on the roster all season so that he does not go back to the Devil Rays. But, it is not sure if Burton will be kept on the roster all season. He has great stuff, and looks to be one year away from finally putting it together.
So here is how the roster would look like if these moves happened:
Lineup:
1B: Joey Votto
2B: Brandon Phillips
SS: Alex Gonzalez
3B: Edwin Encarnacion
CF: Ryan Freel
LF: Matt Kemp
RF: Josh Hamilton
Starting Rotation:
1. Aaron Harang
2. Bronson Arroyo
3. Homer Bailey
4. Matt Belisle
5. Phil Dumtraight/Kirk Sarloos/Bobby Livingston
Bullpen:
S:Johnathon Broxton
S:Bill Bray
M:Gary Majewski
M:Todd Coffey
M:John Countlangus
C:Marcus McBeth
L: Kirk Sarloos/Victor Santos
Bench:
Jeff Keppinger
Jeff Conine
Norris Hopper
Javier Valentein
Jerry Gil/Chris Dikerson
