If the Barves are offering Salty, I say we jump all over that deal. A lineup with Salty catching and Votto at first makes for a really strong lineup for next years club.

OK, Salty would be a good guy to have in the lineup every day, but for a team that has struggled to develop pitching, I still think that the Reds should at least get back some pitching in the deal. Maybe we throw in a top hitting prospect (anybody but Jay Bruce), and the Braves throw in a top pitching prospect. That way, at least we would have replaced the pitching that would be lost from the organization by trading Arroyo.
