Phillies are a team I'm going to be cheering for. Aggressive ownership. Adding Turner to that lineup?? Can you say 8-9 runs a game? Shoot if I was a FA pitcher I'd want those bats going for me every 5th day.

The Phils need some starting pitching.

Harper is going to miss at least half the year with his shoulder surgery

Verlander, and especially Scherzer, are among my favorite pitchers.  Always been a fan of the great ones on the mound.  

But.......I hate the Mets

Mets better have 7 or 8 starters because with Verlander and Schurzer you know they both will hit the DL a couple of times.

Ad a Reds fan I don't know why I keep watching MLB during the winter meetings.  I know the Reds won't make any deals or signings that will be worth them talking about.  To me it is sad that about half the teams have no shot at the top free agents and those teams are like the minor league teams for the big market teams.

At least in football all the teams have the same opportunity to sign the players.  First year the NFL had free agency the top free agent Reggie White signed with the smallest market in Green Bay

How many bigtime FAs have the Reds signed since free agency started?  It has pretty much been this way for the Reds and their small market brethren since it's inception.

Bellinger is washed up.  

He's only 27...

I was reading a couple of articles on him, and supposedly his swing is messed up because of a broken fibula a few years back...

Straighten out his mechanics and maybe he can return to form...

Hey, the Cubs aren't doing much else, so we gotta hang on to something...

Cubs signed Jameson Taillon last night too. Shoring up that starting pitching. Expect one of the shortstops to sign today or tomorrow. Today will be all about Judge/Yankees deal.

Article on Bellinger and his struggles...

Batting mechanics mean a lot. Major league pitchers are a smart bunch and will find a hole in your swing quicker than you can say "Joe Charboneau."

Sometimes a few adjustments is the cure...
