I think the Reds should consider offering something like this to Latos and Bailey......Latos a little more bailey and bailey a little less.[/size][/font][/color]

5/60 Latos[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]
5/50 Bailey.[/size][/font][/color]

I don't think that's enough for Latos, and I'd want at least 6 years.

As for Bailey, I wonder if a deal with Latos would stop a deal from happening with Bailey. It might be a one or the other type thing. Then again I never thought they'd keep Votto and Phillips.
