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.
