Reds sign veteran starter Fogg Right-hander agrees to one-year deal worth $1 million By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com SARASOTA, Fla. -- For the Reds' younger rotation candidates, their chances of landing a starting spot just got harder. Free agent right-hander Josh Fogg signed a one-year, $1 million contract. The 31-year-old had talked with the Reds off and on throughout the winter before finally reaching a deal. "It heated up here the last couple of weeks," Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "Looking at the board of who was available, we thought he'd be a good fit." Fogg was able to make the short drive to Sarasota from his home in Tampa and finalize his contract after he passed a physical. Read more at www.mlb.com

Wow that was random

Ohio ranks in at 7 and Kentucky at 10 http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/msn/careeradvice/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=1294&SiteId=cbmsnhp41294&sc_extcmp=JS_1294_home1&GT1=10884&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=209985d68a3b4e7ca6a4407b93a90fca-256757556-JU-5

There's no way I could work in a clustered work environment like that.

I cant wait to see how they do against the Red Sox and Indians. I think it will be a good preview of how well they could do in the playoffs. For anyone that cares, Joe Nuxhall didn't recieve the Ford Frick award for the second straight year.

Thats hilarious. I can only imagine what was running through his mind at the time.

The cyclones are having a great year! 35-11-0 with 10 straight wins so far. They just beat the bombers 3-2 tonight.

Oh I cant wait until the Football: Battle for Ohio thread starts to heat up again! :evil:

It would be cool if they could somehow get Blanton, but i'd hate to see them trade away most of their prospects!

Man i wish i knew this was going on. I love the Cyclones!

I think they have signed enough old dudes!

Sweet. I visited the OD for the first time this past weekend. Some friends and I ate at the Cafe Boulevard then hit up club Pearl. It was pretty awesome...sure beats sitting in a hotel room on Wright-Pat all weekend!

I wasn't impressed either.

Veteran Wilson inks Minor League deal Oufielder/first baseman invited to Spring Training with Reds By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com CINCINNATI -- The Reds clubhouse at Spring Training added one more veteran to the fold with Saturday's signing of outfielder/first baseman Craig Wilson to a Minor League contract. Wilson's deal comes with an invite to big league camp. He is no stranger to the National League Central, having spent 2001-06 with the Pirates. The 31-year-old also played with the Yankees in 2006 and spent '07 in the Braves and White Sox organizations. Wilson has spent the majority of his career playing either first base or right field. The Reds currently have lefty hitters Joey Votto and Scott Hatteberg at first base, but if recent rumors that Votto could be dealt for pitching are true, this latest transaction could be a precursor to another move.

Report: Reds, A's discuss Blanton Oakland seeking two top prospects in return for right-hander By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com CINCINNATI -- It appears the Reds are still trying to make improvements heading into the final week before Spring Training. Foxsports.com first reported Thursday that the Reds are still interested in acquiring A's starting pitcher Joe Blanton, and the Cincinnati Enquirer reported on Friday that there have been talks with Oakland. A deal did not seem imminent however. According to the Enquirer, which did not cite a source for its story, the A's are seeking a package that could involve at least two top Reds prospects. That might mean first baseman Joey Votto or pitchers Homer Bailey and/or Johnny Cueto. Read more at www.mlb.com

I was in Wal Mart one day reading some baseball mag and they predicted the Reds to be 5th in the NL Central this year. I cant believe the expectations are really that low! I can see at least a little bit of improvement over last year.

Chad Johnson just got named to the Pro Bowl in place of Randy Moss. Brady also isn't showing up. Derek Anderson is taking his place.

I cant express how happy i am that the cheaters lost!

Lots of Alcohol, naked chicks, and videotaping! :-D

Maysville Riverpark would be located in Wyldwood trade By OWEN McNEILL, Staff Writer Thursday, January 24, 2008 In a special meeting Thursday, Maysville City Commission approved a resolution concerning a developmental option for the Maysville Riverpark. The resolution calls for the exploration of a land trade which would enable the Wyldwood development team to purchase the current Maysville Riverpark and develop that property into a marina for the private use of the proposed Wyldwood Development in exchange for similar facilities constructed on the old landfill property which is just east of the current riverpark. In essence, the developers will receive the Riverpark property for use in the proposed multimillion dollar development project primarily for its location if, and only if, they develop similar amenities for the public on the old landfill property. The new city property will include a enclosed pavilion structure as well. MORE: http://www.maysville-online.com
