Redleg Nation has up their latest podcast and it features Tucker Barnhart. Go give it a listen, immediately.
The Reds made two signings yesterday. The first was Dioner Navarro, to a minor league deal. The second was for Ryan Ludwick to a MLB deal. Navarro is going to serve as insurance and likely split time with Corky Miller in Louisville. He hasn’t hit in three years, posting just a .207/.267/.311 since being an All-Star in 2008. He did hit in 2010 while in AAA. He draws walks and doesn’t swing and miss a lot, but he hasn’t really hit much despite that. Ludwick is on an MLB deal, and he has gotten on base a little bit in his career, but he hasn’t hit much since the All-Star break in 2010. Assuming he is a back up, I don’t dislike the deal.
Baseball America’s “Ask BA” column went up yesterday and one question asked was to name their preseason 2012 Rookie Team. The Reds landed three players on the list and one former Red. Former Red Yon...

He can reach up to $3 million with incentives, and the deal has an option for 2013.

So, it is the middle of January and there simply isn’t another article I had in my mind to write for today. So I thought I would pose a few questions that came to mind after listening to the Redleg Nation podcast with Tucker Barnhart yesterday.
When you look at a hitter, be it through stats or scouting, what are the things that you look at the most? Why do you look at those...

Reds sign Navarro, extend Spring invitation
The Reds on Monday signed veteran catcher Dioner Navarro to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training as a non-roster player in big league camp.
Ludwick to the Reds
The Reds signed Ryan Ludwick to a one-year contract, and Redleg Nation is not impressed:
File this under “It could be worse”: Best thing about Ryan Ludwick is that he doesn’t spell his name “J-u-a-n P-i-e-r-r-e” or “R-i-c-k A-n-k-i-e-l.”
Ryan Ludwick’s career certainly seems to be fading as he ages into his early 30s. Teams may remember his outstanding 2008...

Todd Frazier Replaced with Less Versatile Version of Todd Frazier
Ryan Ludwick is the newest member of the Reds and I have some seriously mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand, the Reds needed outfield depth. On the other hand, this negatively affects the construction of the bench.
As I read the tea leaves, the following players are locks to make the team: Hanigan, Cairo, Francisco, Ludwick, and Janish (until they sign another SS). That’...
