If the Reds were looking for veteran leadership, they couldn't have worked the 'veteran' part of this any better. Now let's see if Jeff Conine has any juice left.
For a couple of low level minor leaguers, the Reds got the well traveled Conine from the Phillies today. They'll also take on the final year of his two million dollar contract.
He'll play a little first base, a little outfield and come off the bench to pinch hit. It's not a signing that will rock anyone world. But it could be a nice piece, IF they can find some bigger ones (like a 'closer')
