I could not agree more. That's one important position out of the way with 2 solid options should one of them falter or get re-injured. What will Jocketty do now with LF, SS and the high priced magnificent 7 on the roster?

Fay's take minus the addition difficulties.

Here's my logic on that:

Let's say the payroll is going to be $65 million, down from $73.5 million last year. The Reds already have $59.25 million committed to six players for 2010: Aaron Harang ($12.5 million), Francisco Cordero ($12 million), Scott Rolen ($11 million), Bronson Arroyo ($11 million), Brandon Phillips ($6.75 million), Willy Taveras ($4 million) and Arthur Rhodes ($2 million).

Logic you say??
