Here's a mind melting stat. Although Madson converted a better percentage of his saves, CoCo actually had a better WHIP last year. So as a Reds fan consistently on the edge of my seat worried about closing a game out, I'm a little worried here.

This may be the end of the transactions for the Reds. I know there's talk of signing someone to challenge Heisey in LF, but if they decide to put Frazier in that role, here's the projected Opening Day roster:

C Ryan Hanigan
1B Joey Votto
2B Brandon Phillips
3B Scott Rolen
SS Zack Cozart
LF Chris Heisey
CF Drew Stubbs
RF Jay Bruce

C Devin Mesoraco (R)
IF Miguel Cairo (R)
IF Juan Francisco (L)
IF Paul Janish (R)
OF Todd Frazier (R)

SP Mat Latos
SP Johnny Cueto
SP Bronson Arroyo
SP Homer Bailey
SP Aroldis Chapman

RP Mike Leake (R)
RP Jose Arredondo (R)
RP Logan Ondrusek (R)
RP Nick Masset (R)
RP Sean Marshall (L)
RP Bill Bray (L)
CL Ryan Madson (R)


I'd kinda like to have more than one left-handed option coming off the bench, so I could see Jocketty possibly signing an OF for cheap to fill that role and letting Frazier start out in Louisville again.

Cordero's WHIP last year was 1.02. That is absolutely fantastic, especially when you consider that the previous three years he gave them 1.44, 1.33, 1.41. Madson's 1.15 is more than respectable.

For comparison's sake, John Axford's was 1.14 and Heath Bell's was 1.15. Neftali Feliz was at 1.16.


Also throw in the fact that Cordero has been losing mph off his fastball, and this is definitely the smarter move for the Reds.
