If the Reds add a serious bat before the deadline, they could wind up in a much better boat than Milwaukee. If I were Jocketty, I'd be seeing if Dye would come back ot play for that same $3-4M we offered back in the winter. He'd give the Reds a power boost, and he wouldn't even cost them anything more than salary. Dye in the 5 lot for the Reds would make them deeper and tougher to beat. While some have questions about their pitching, Chapman and 2 others are going to be joinging the team by July, and some of their guys are clearly doing the job. If the Reds stay injury free, this N.L. Central could well wind up a 3-team race (assuming Lee and ARAM eventually do actually hit).
