Reds Roster Set For Now

23. January 2009  - Published by Dan Clasgens

Whether it's a bad economy or they simply feel content, the Reds' roster appears to be set - for now.

Reds' GM Walt Jocketty appears to be set and doesn't anticipate much more movement.

"Right now, I would say yes. But I'm still looking at ways to improve it, I'm still trying to improve the bench." Jocketty told C Trent Rosecrans of TheLotD when asked if the roster was set. "I'm also kind of in the mindset that we've got a lot of new guys and we've got a lot of things to look at, I'd like to get into camp before we start tinkering with it."

The team will likely go into Spring Training without making any more significant moves.

Is Jonny Gomes, Willy Taveras, and re-signing Jerry Hairston enough to satisfy the team's need for outfielders?

Only time will tell. Don't be surprised to see the team tinker with things even after Spring Training though. 

The pitching seems to be adequate in both the rotation and bullpen, but I am not sold on this offense just yet.

I agree that the rotation should be solid, certainly if Harang is healthy.  But I question the offense as well.  Outside of Jay Bruce, that outfield is just going to be horrendous.  Of the three listed above, I can't see any of them being even marginally valuable.
