4 year contract worth $46 million if he passes a physical exam. Good pickup by the Reds?

Anything has to be an upgrade over what they had. Does anyone have the stat on how many games the bullpen blew last season?

While I do think the Reds overpaid for Cordero, I still like the move. Cincinnati had one of the league's worst bullpens last year, blowing numerous games in the late innings. This signing should help the team win at least 10 games that they lost last year.

With Cordero in place, the bullpen takes on more of a natural lineup:

9th: Cordero
7th/8th: Burton, Weathers
6th and earlier: Bray, Majekski, Salmon

This group lets us go into next season feeling much better about the Reds' chances. :thumpsup:

Cordero helps upgrade a Cincinnati bullpen that went 23-31 last season and posted a National League-worst 5.10 ERA.
