Pena, while I like him is over-hyped. He may have potential.... but that's what it is potential. He may flourish in the AL but in the NL he wasn't the great fit.

There were also rumors that he may not make the team and he was out of options so the REDS had to do something.

As for Arroyo, you look at his numbers they aren't that bad. He knows how to win, and he may very well be a great fit in the NL. He's 29 so he's entering his prime, and most of all this shows the REDS are willing to spend some money again to try to better their pitching.

Hopefully, Arroyo isn't a freaking Paul Wilson or Eric Milton. In fact, he could very easily turn out to be this year's big sleeper and do for Cincy what Millwood did for Cleveland last year.

We shall see but, I also have a feeling the REDS ain't done dealin' yet.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
