Is there a third basemen with power with one year on his contract because I think Frazier played a good left field. I do not like moving Frazier around like last year. He is our Pete Rose of 2015.

Should have traded Ramirez for Broxton last year with the Brewers

For $16 million? The reason they traded Broxton was for salary relief. So I think that would have been a bad idea, If they go out and spend $16 million on 1 year for a free agent, then I might have agreed with you. But they arent going to do that. They will try and get 2-3 guys for that much

Forgot they were in the until last ten games. If they pick up Akoi do the reds loose their first round pick (10th)?

I thought the top 10 picks were protected when signibg FA? Isn't that why Boston signed those guys so quickly?

Trade rumor is that a trade talk fell through between reds and phillies. Could still happen did not hear who they wanted from the reds. It was for Byrd.
