Let me start by giving a recap of the 2011 Winter Meetings for the Reds.
...
That's about what it feels like happened in Dallas at this year's version of Major League Baseball's winter meetings. Reds' fans as well as GM Walt Jocketty are surely disappointed that no trades and signings were able to be completed in Dallas, but as Mark Sheldon points out, the groundwork was laid for potential deals to take place over the next couple of months remaining in the offseason. Walt has said however, that while there have been talks, there is nothing close yet. There were indeed plenty of rumors.
As Paul Daugherty of the Cincinnati Enquirer said, "The Reds win without playing," of course referring to the fact that Albert Pujols is no longer a member of the NL Central, after having signed with Danny Glover's Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California the 31st State in the United States of America or whatever their team is called. This leads me into the po...

So far, the Reds have done nothing more than take Jeremy Horst off the 40-man roster and become part of several trade rumors at Major League Baseball's winter meetings in Dallas. Speaking of those rumors, here is the latest update as the Reds continue their search for a legitimate top end starter, a right handed bat, and a closer.

Dave Sappelt leads the way in center on my depth chart. He is a strong ranged center fielder who takes good routes, has tons of speed and reads the ball quickly off the bat. His arm is a bit below average, but his range more than makes up for it. He may not get a chance to play center because the Reds have Drew Stubbs and are likely to stick with him in center. Offensively, especially...

For Redlegs sake, someone please trade with Walt.
Things are not going the way Reds fans had hoped they would so far at the winter meetings. That doesn't necessarily mean nothing is going to happen, as there seems that there have been plenty of talks and there's lots of offseason yet to go. It's just really frustrating when it seems like the Reds have a top trade chip...

Although the Reds made no major moves themselves during the Winter Meetings this week, they did however, manage to escape Dallas as winners. How's that you may ask? I'll tell you.
This is because a long-time nemesis has not only changed to a team in another division, but another league altogether. Albert Pujols' decision to sign with the Los Angeles Angels means Reds...
