Really where is his spot? Crawford just signed a 6 year extension, Baldelli will be back in center, the real topper is alot of people think BJ Upton will end up as an outfielder also and top that with Aubrey Huff and Delmon Young who's also quickly rising through their system. Gathright to me looks like he's going to be lost in the shuffle.
As far as the Reds if they traded for Kearns instead of Pena I'd not be happy Kearns is extremely injury prone and doesnt possess the natural power Pena does. Right now Grienke and maybe Bautista are about the only people on the Royals I wouldn't consider trading. Sometimes you have to give up something to get something.
I think the Reds would be very interested in a pitcher and possibly Berroa or Blanco they've got nothing working at shortstop in their organization.

It's possible, but I'm afraid you'd have to give up too much. I wouldn't let them touch our top arms, no way. I'm not trading pitching like Bautista or Hernandez or Burgos for offense. I'm still leery of the idea of trading Affeldt but we might end up doing it.
