Hopper and Keppinger make Freel redundant, older and expensive. I don't know how they could or what they could get back but they could still use plenty of help.
Especially a RH bat and or a true leadoff hitter. Still a lot of work to do before April Wayne.

I couldn't agree more, unfortunately I'm betting they have Freel penciled in as the starting CF this year. He'll do his best Bump Bailey impression and end up on the DL sooner rather than later and that will be that. Maybe we get to see Bruce by July. I would be okay with Kepp playing SS if they could somehow move AGon as a salary dump. With the Hamilton trade, it looks like they are committed to Dunn. Might as well ink him to a LT deal. Hopefully, Griff's band aids and duct tape hold up long enough for him to make a serious run at 700 HR and 3K hits. The Cubbies are still the team to beat in the division but at least the Reds should be able to make some noise with a little luck.
