As far as the win now thing goes, anyone who honestly thinks a team who just lost 20 of their last 29 games is a legit contender needs to have their head examined. I don't care how weak the NL is this year.
We haven't won for 10 years, have some patience and build a truely solid organization from the farm system on up. Fix it on the fly gets you [censored] like this, selling the organizations prime chips for below market value so we can compete for a WC and maybe get a quick first round exit for our trouble. [censored]ing great.

Prime chips??? a dime a dozen outfielder and a SS with less range than my dead grandmother??? Now, if the Reds had traded Homer Bailey I'd be right with ya...but I do believe the value being placed on Austin Kearns and HUMA Lopez is a little on the high side.
