With how the Reds roster has shaped up over the last few days, I thought it would be interesting to have a discussion for the weekend.
Brandon Phillips is on the disabled list for at least six weeks. Joey Votto is on the disabled list for who knows how long? You are within reach for both the National League Central and one of the two NL Wild Card spots.
Put yourself in the shoes of Walt Jocketty. What do you do with the Reds for 2014? The trade deadline is in 18 days. Do you promote from within? Do you make a trade or three? Who are you going to trade for and what are you willing to trade for them?
Spit out your ideas and tell everyone your plan.
