|Bunghole| Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I wish. I wouldn't mind giving up big prospects to shore up our starting pitching by getting Lee and jettisoning Harang. We'll still need bullpen help, though. Who can we get to help us there that's available besides bringing up our own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 [url="http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2010/07/05/reds-have-interest-in-lee/"][b][size="5"]Reds have interest in Lee[/size][/b][/url] Posted by [email="johnfayman@aol.com"]jfay[/email] July 5th, 2010, 6:21 pm The Reds have talked to Seattle Mariners about left-hander Cliff Lee. The talks happened when the Reds were in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. Tampering rules prevent general manager Walt Jocketty on commenting on a player from another team. But in general terms, it sounds like Lee would be the type of player that Reds would target. "I will say this: We're looking at anyway we can to improve the club," Jocketty said. "To improve the club, it would have to be a pretty significant player to do that. We have a lot of good things going. We don't want to disrupt that." Seattle wants an impact bat for Lee. Former top pick Yonder Alonso fits that bill. Despite Alonso struggles this year – he's hitting .246/.283/.365 at Triple-A – he's still regarded highly in baseball circles. Lee, 31, is 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA for the Mariners. He went 14-13 with a 3.22 ERA last year with Cleveland and Philadelphia. He went 22-3 with a 2.34 ERA in '08 with Cleveland. He makes $9 million this year and is a free agent after the season. My guess is it would takes more than Alonso to get Lee. I think how Edinson Volquez does upon his return will also affect the Reds' interest.

|Bunghole| Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah Old, Volquez...and then there's Bailey to think about too! I don't think we really need more starting pitching unless we can jettison Harang and his salary. I've always liked Harang's workmanlike approach, but he just isn't the same pitcher he once was. He isn't as bad as he was awhile ago I guess, but his stuff isn't all that great. I'm not sure if we make a move. We have a great offense, good starting pitching and a decent defense. Our bullpen, despite some shaky moments, isn't too bad either. And then what to do with Andrew Wood? Fuck. I just want them to keep winning and remain relevant past the All Star break!

Bengals1181 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 don't think the Reds need to trade for a starter. They just need to bolster the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scales Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm with Bung. I don't think the club needs to give up top prospects for a pitcher that they would effectively rent for half a season. As the G.M mentioned the team is in a pretty good place right now. If I knew that I could sign him to a good deal right now, and depending on what Seattle wanted - i'd be more apt to do it. He's an ace. He's a pro. He would boost the team in wins. He could potentially be a key player in winning a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Not really interested in giving up a bunch of prospects to rent lee for half a year. If he agreed to a reasonable extension then maybe, but he'll want a Sabathia type deal. So pass. Although he would make us a World Series contender I believe. Just hope St. Louis doesn't get him!

Jason Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Is Harang on his last year? If so, I make the deal right now. We could re-sign Lee for about what Harang is making, maybe a little more. Or we could try, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 it really wouldn't take tha much to get him. Go look at the last two times he was traded, not that many big named prospects...alonso is the best name being thrown around by any team. Match up alonso and a mid level prospect and do it.

JBandJoeyV Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 [quote]Cliff Lee is traded -- again The 31-year-old lefty, who was dealt from Cleveland to Philadelphia at last year's deadline and then to Seattle in the offseason, is traded for the fourth time in a year, completing the round-trip back to Ohio as the Reds build a package around 2008 first-round pick Yonder Alonso -- the kind of middle-of-the-order bat the Mariners need -- to add a true No. 1 starter. The trade affirms Walt Jocketty's status as the Don of the Deadline, and when Lee goes CC Sabathia on the NL -- 10-1, 1.44 ERA, six complete games, a handful of Cy Young votes -- it's enough to help the Reds relegate Jocketty's old team, the Cardinals, to second-class citizens in the NL Central. The first postseason game in Great American Ball Park is a sellout, but the Reds, behind Bronson Arroyo, drop a 7-2 decision to the Phillies and are eliminated shortly thereafter.[/quote] 5 bold predictions SI.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
