I am going to ask these two on both the reds forum www.redszone.com and here and compare. I will report back. I think the Reds are somewhat keeping their heads above water right now but by the deadline will be solidly out of it. The offense just isn't good enough. The Reds really need OF help, and the Tigers seem to really be lacking in OF prospects (I am not including Clark because I am assuming he is untouchable), so probably not a good fit. Please feel free to reply back with what you think would be a good return as well.
Emilio Pagan for INF Hao Yu-Lee
Emilio Pagan for RHP Troy Melton and Justice Bigbie
Before you scoff at Pagan, he has been really solid this year - .87 WHIP and I think he is the perfect reliever for Comerica Park's dimensions.
TJ Friedl for one of McGonigle, Ranier, or Briceno
I would prefer the Reds extend Friedl, but I wasn't born yesterday, so I know that is not happening.
What say you?
