Since we're nearing the trade deadline...

Who do you all think the Reds might target if they are still in contention (which they should be)?

Obviously, they need bullpen help and probably need to look at upgrading the bottom end of the rotation.

Also, who do you think the Reds try to move to get the help they need.

I wouldn't mind a starter but I'm not sure we could get one that would be good enough.

We definitely need bullpen arms though. If we did get a starter, I would be looking for two bullpen arms. If we didn't, I'd try to get three bullpen arms.

I think they could move either Lopez, Freel, a catcher or Kearns.

As for who they might target, I would aim for guys on non-contending teams who have good strikeout totals. There are a few arms I have liked on teams like KC and a few others. I will try to name some specific names later on.

I like Roberto Hernadez (Pirates) and Elmer Dessans (KC).

We could get either for maybe one or two type B prospects.
