The NL imported Barry Zito, Carlos Lee, Freddy Garcia and Randy Johnson from the American League. If this keeps up, things will even out before long. For now, at least, they'll have to settle for better grades. And here they are: [b]Cincinnati Reds[/b] Since they didn't have the money to overpay for stars, they settled for overpaying for non-stars. It's hard to imagine Mike Stanton being worth a two-year deal or Jeff Conine being deserving of a guaranteed contract. Does Josh Hamilton have any chance to pan out (though at 50 grand, the price was right)? Alex Gonzalez (the one who comes from Boston) can pick it like almost no one else, though.
