He would be better than Janish offensively and better than Renteria anyday of the week, but look at how many games he's played in over the last few years. Also, would we be able to afford him? For him to be beneficial, we'll have to sign him with an extension. CoCo is off the books after this year, but I don't think that'll be enough to make up for Reyes.
Doubt it happens anyway, the article that named the Reds as one of the teams that Reyes could go to was written by Bowden. Other than bringing in Phillips and Arroyo, Bowden was pathetic when he was our GM.
