What do reds fans have to look forward to here? Maybe bringing Javier
Valentin back or extending the contract of Willy T.? Tongue and cheek of
course.

What rumors have you heard?

I think I hear David Weathers sneaking back in...Actually I think I
missed him at the end of last year!

Nothing to write home about.

My guess is that they bring back Gomes and go into the 10 season much
the way they came out of the 09 season. Hope for some health and that
some of the kids step up.

The reds bullpen is actually pretty full.

Cordero/Masset/Rhodes
Burton/Herrera/Owings

Both Bray and Lincoln seem to have the trust of the front office.
That's 8.
Plus Viola and Fischer...
After Roenekce left AAA they gave the closing job to Logan Andrusek. He
did a decent job with it and is on the 40 man roster.

That's 11 guys that could pitch more than a little be in the bullpen.
Plus I believe Matt Maloney will be out of options and isn't going to
crack the starting rotation.

Without several deals, it's very hard to see the reds putting stormy
back on the roster.
