With the market for free agent closers increasingly dwindling, multiple teams find themselves in the running for the 37-year old's services...including the Reds. According to John Fay of the Enquirer, the team has extended a one-year contract estimated to be worth around $7 million -- a far cry from the $12 million option the club declined back in October. Nevertheless, it's an offer that Cordero and his agent Bean Stringfellow must seriously consider before passing up. Should the former-Red decide to accept the deal and join the newly-acquired lefty Sean Marshall, it would give Cincinnati one of the best setup/closer combos in all of the National League...maybe even MLB. But for now, here are some recent quotes from both Stringfellow and Jocketty regarding Cordero: "The Reds are involved, and are still interested in bringing him back. I am talking with them on a...

Via Reds Minor Leagues  |  January 03, 2012
Kyle Lotzkar was coming into 2011 healthy for the first time since 2008 when he first began running into injury problems. Then about two weeks into spring training he suffered an injury and would be out for the next 3 months before making his debut with the Dayton Dragons on June 14th. Lotzkar had a short first start, but it was a solid one as he went 4 innings with 2 earned runs...

Thursday news and notes

Via Reds Minor Leagues  |  January 05, 2012
The Reds made a few signings  over the last few weeks. Andrew Brackman is officially a Red now. The Reds also signed PJ Phillips, he is Brandon’s younger brother. He is a former 2nd round draft pick of the Angels (2005), so he at least had tools at one point. He has severe plate discipline issues though that have held him back from using those tools on the offensive side of things...

Drew Stubbs Player Projection No. 101

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 03, 2012
Key Stats: Stubbs was one of only 2 Outfielders in 2010 to give us at least 20 HR's and 30 steals. If you add in 90 runs scored as part of the criteria, then only Stubbs and Han Ram qualify in all of baseball. Despite striking out 168 times, Stubbs was productive enough to give us really high hopes going into the 2011 season. He was tops on my Man-Crush list going into drafts...
