I don't have a problem at all with this move. He's a placeholder, and he comes cheap. I for one had no delusions of the Reds contending this season. I'm glad that it appears that they will not be trading for Blanton. I'd hate to see the Reds pull out all the stops to field a team that can win 85 games and not make the playoffs, and in doing so let go of young players that can probably have a greater impact when this team's window opens in a year or two.
Signing Fogg likely means that we keep Bailey and Cueto, and they start the year in AAA. It also likely means that Affeldt moves to the pen, where he belongs. These are both good things.
