Interesting pick up for the Reds today. Though they haven't confirmed it yet, foxsports.com's Ken Rosenthal (a terrific baseball writer) says the Reds have signed left handed starting pitcher Jeremy Affeldt.

I like this on a number of levels. It's a relatively cheap signing (1yr/$3mil) and it gives the Reds a left handed arm in the starting rotation..

Here's what Affeldt's career has looked like.

Even more of an insight into what's going on inside the Reds organization is in this recent article in Baseball Prospectus.

Maybe things are looking up. Opening Day? The countdown clock is just to your right.

I'm talking sports Sunday morning on 700 WLW in Cincinnati. I'm on from 9am-Noon EST. Among my guests will be former Bengals David Fulcher and Jim Breech. Mark Sheldon from mlb.com will stop by and we'll have a report from Green Bay on the Packers vs Giants NFC Championship game. You can listen on line at www.700wlw.com or on XM channel 173. Or just dial in 700 on your AM dial.
