Minor signings and trades

still curious what the financials are on Johnson.

If it's under 5 million, you got to think it's a good deal, even if he is only a OPS+ of 80. His defense is solid, and it allows Zobrist to move around and be flexible.

Anything over 5 though seems like a reach. While he is just as likely to post a OPS+ of 120, he is equally as likely to be an 80 OPS+

Mets signed Scott Achison to a minor league deal.

If he can pitch like he did before the injury i am sure he could be an asset to our terrible bullpen.

[Jeffy25]

I wanted Alex Gonzalez (who signed with the Brewers).

Getting Ronny Cedeno is fine, but I like Gonzalez better as a player

Scott Rolen could be back with the Reds.

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said "there's a chance" Scott Rolen returns to the team in 2013.
Rolen has decided to come back for another season, but there might not be enough playing time available with the Reds to make him happy. "I think there’s a chance we get something worked out," Jocketty said. "We’re talking about the details — how much opportunity is there." The Dodgers have interest in Rolen and would be able to offer him more playing time.

is it too soon to post this yet?
if Rolen does return to the Reds, how does that effect Todd Frazier at 3B?

The Reds are nearing a deal with free agent catcher Miguel Olivo, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports.

Hell, you can put Frazier anywhere.

He can spell days off for Rolen at third, days off for Ludwick in left, days off for Bruce in right, and days off for Votto at first, and be the first guy to play in injury situations and could DH in interleague games.

Would still get him probably 500 PA
