My Advice for Dan O'Brien

If I'm Dan O'Brien, I take a look at this list and make some moves. The Reds can't afford over-priced superstars. They need to focus on "value" players - especially pitchers.

1. Step one would be to re-sign Paul Wilson.
2. Step two to trade Kearns or Dunn for a good, young starting pitcher.
3. Step three to sign a solid reliever.
4. Step four to sign a third baseman.
5. Step five to do whatever is necessary to get out from under Griffey's contract (even if it means eating most of it).
