« Still No Major Moves This Winter | Ken Griffey, Jr. Breaks Hand, Spring Training Status Unclear »

By Thaq Diesel

The Reds acquired yet another platoon player today .  It’s just like ‘Nam, man!  Those stands are just crawling with Charlie!

Your guess is as good as mine about how the crowded roster of journeymen on the Reds will play out next year.  Conine brings a much-needed right-handed bat to the lineup and can play first base or outfield.  He’s a relative bargain in today’s market at $2 million per year.  He’s also 40 years old with one year left on his contract, so he doesn’t get the roster any younger and isn’t likely to be with the team long-term.  Well, unless he’s chugging the Julio Franco youth elixir (I wonder if there’s a test for that yet?)  This deal has more upside than bad.  It’s also yet another minor tweak to a team that seemed to need a couple major pieces added to it.
