2010 Reds Outlook

Rotation
1 - Harang ($12M)
2 - Arroyo ($11M)
3 - Cueto ($500K)
4 - H. Bailey ($500K) - ick
5 - Owings ($500K) - ick
6 - ?? - AAA options - LHPs M. Maloney, Travis Wood. RHP Sam Lecure.

Analysis: Not looking too good.
- Beyond Harang, Arroyo, and Cueto (who I believe will be better monitored this offseason), you cannot rely on Homer, Owings, or any of the AAA recommendations. You need at least TWO more backend options with ML experience.

Recommendations:
- FA: Jon Garland.
- Trade: - Jonathan Sanchez (Giants), Aaron Heilman (Cubs), Garrett Olson (M's), Jeremy Sowers (Indians), or Jeremy Guthrie (Orioles).

Pen
1 - Cordero ($12M)
2 - Rhodes ($2M)
3 - Masset ($600K)
4 - Burton ($600K)
5 - C. Fisher ($500K)
6 - D. R. Herrera ($500K)
7 - ?????

Analysis:
- A fairly easy area to source talent on the open market. Look for pitchers with high K rate (regardless on velocity readings), as K's become more crucial late in games in order to wriggle out of tricky situations.

Recommendations:
- Pen: TBA.
