Reds sign Willy Taveras

Really? The Reds have a rotation of Harang, Arroyo, Volquez, Cueto, and Owings. I don't think there is a team out there with more potential at SP than the Reds. We all know what Harang can do, but he was hurt for most of the year. Arroyo is a great 3 with Volquez being the 2. Volquez is coming off an unbelievable year and looks to add to his 17 wins from last year. Cueto has the stuff to be fantastic and Owings is a nice 5 man to have in your rotation. He is also very good with the bat. I love the way the Reds starting rotation looks going into Spring Training.

As far as relief pitching, they could use a little work but still have Burton, Bray, Weathers, and Massett. Not to mention their $100M+ closer in Cordero.

The thing the Reds really need is a consistent leadoff man, which they seem to have gotten in Taveras, and another power hitting righty to play in the OF. I thought they should have gone after Matt Holiday personally, but hopefully they can snag someone in the FA market.

I think the team looks pretty stout heading into offseason workouts.
