Ex-Bucs all around

Some updates on our old friends:

Josh Fogg signs a 1-year/$1 million contract with the Reds in an effort to take a starting spot away from a young pitcher. The Reds have a ton of young talent, and I have no faith that Wayne Krivsky and Dusty Baker can cobble it into a winner.

Craig Wilson left the Reds' camp, apparently after failing a physical. I'm assuming this probably has something to do with his gimpy shoulder. To be honest, it doesn't look good for Thor's career from here on out. If he's done, he'll end stuck on a very Midgardian 99 homers.

Oliver Perez won his arbitration case against the Mets
and will make $6.5 million next year. And whenever Matt Morris and Zach Duke take the mound this year, I'll be glaring angrily at Xavier Nady on the field in Steve Pearce's place, cursing Dave Littlefield with words that would make Quentin Tarantino blush.
