Simple question.If it's up to you who do you go get?Felix Hernandez/TOR starter,Jose Reyes/stud SS or Matt Kemp/stud LF.These seem to be the popular names being thrown around but if there's someone else you like let us know.

Matt Kemp. As much as we need pitching at the moment, Kemp would raise our offense from extremely good to terrifying.
Going to the playoffs is nice and all, but if you want to win a championship, you're going to need atleast one legitimate hurler that can shutdown a good team on any given night. Felix Hernandez would be a great pickup, but I can only imagine what it'd cost to land him.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
Felix would cost too much in talent, although he's clearly the best of the three. Pitchers are by definition riskier acquisitions too.
Reyes would just be a rental and very pricey too.
Kemp is at the beginning of the peak of his career, and wouldn't cost as much as the other two in terms of players. He's also real good.
I voted Kemp.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
I want the Reds to contend for the World Series Championship. IMO to do this they need two TOR starters. Bailey could be one someday if he could stay healthy. Cueto looks to me like a nice MOR arm. Arroyo is what he is. One night won't make me a Volquez believer. Leake & Wood could be #2 starters someday but I'd be happy if they became MOR arms. Chapman isn't going to be a TOR arm anytime soon.
Hence, my vote goes to Felix.
I voted for Kemp because, I think it's the most likely move. He is what we'd have if we took Gomes' hitting vs. lefties, Lewis' hitting vs. righties, and Heisey's fielding and put them in one body. The Dodgers are in upheaval and they've hired John Allen to help with their fire sale...(we might get him for a handful of failed prospects )
I would really prefer a shutdown TOR starter like King Felix, but I think he (or any REAL TOR guy) will cost more than we can ever afford.
"Okay you guys, pair up in threes!" --Yogi Berra
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
If we could get Beltran and Reyes then I am going that way. But if it is just Reyes I don't want him. Rental, expensive, I would use my chips to get Kemp. But if we could work out a deal with the Mets for those two, then I would make the move.
Hey Sparky! Indian Hill English teachers taught me everything I know!
I could more easily live with Janish at SS if the Reds acquired a LF than live with what they have in LF if they acquired a SS. That said, I've advocated for Reyes in the past. I think him at the top of the lineup, with Stubbs in the #2 hole would be amazing. Stubbs would see a load of fastballs when Reyes was on base, and that could only help him.
But if I was going for a LF I'd kick the tires on Beltran and Justin Upton along with Kemp. Beltran and Reyes in a package would be interesting, but giving up what? I guess that would depend on how much salary the Reds were willing to pick up.
As for pitching, I still have faith it will come around. The talent is there, but these guys just need to be more consistent. That will happen. But if we have to go for a pitcher, King Felix isn't a bad target. Like someone said above, though, how much in talent is that going to cost? Maybe Ian Kennedy would be a better option.
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. -- Terrance Mann (Field of Dreams)
If Hernandez is available you get him. You always get pitching first. But I don't think he is available. The easy 2nd choice and most likely will be available is Kemp. Put him into the middle of an already good lineup and it gets scary good. I would love to see Kemp hit in 82 games at GABP. I think it would be an easy 40-45 home runs for him.
Reds Fan Since 1971
As far as this poll goes, King Felix. To go deep into the playoffs, you need those TOR stud starters.
But this poll is also unrealistic. I'd fill LF with someone decent. Votto and now Bruce are getting pitched around because once they are past Bruce, there ain't nuthin'.
Teach tolerance.
Love to have Felix. But a guy like Matt Garza, with a reasonable cost, as a half year rental, would be realistic and positive, IMO.

If pop music critics held any real sway over the listening public, then Celine Dion wouldn't have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide; Amadou & Mariam, Ashton Shepherd and Animal Collective would be international stars; and fans would be filling stadiums for Sufjan Stevens and Jamey Johnson instead of Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney.

Blake Shelton's tweets are hilarious! I discovered it a few weeks ago and his tweets make my day every day :)
The mention of Celine Dion reminds me to recommend, if I haven't already, Carl Wilson's excellent meditation on taste, _Let's Talk About Love: A Journey To The End Of Taste, available at Amazon and fine bookstores everywhere.
Haha! That looks hilarious! I reluctantly admit to being a Celine fan.
The B&D compilation looks strong but I wish it included "Hard Workin' Man" and "Building Bridges."
Another year, another Toby Keith CD. Blech.
I love that Craig Shelburne gave a shout out to Suzy Bogguss' Aces album. An old favorite of mine.
And as for Jimmy Wayne? Good lord. It looks like the start of a Playgirl photo shoot gone bad. Ugh.
If pop music critics held any real sway over the listening public, then Celine Dion wouldn't have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide; Amadou & Mariam, Ashton Shepherd and Animal Collective would be international stars; and fans would be filling stadiums for Sufjan Stevens and Jamey Johnson instead of Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney.
Shouldn't that article be titled: Pop Music Critics Are Smart And You Should Listen To Them?
Either that or "People Are Dumb And Need All The Help They Can Get."
I told you it was for the LADIES.
Oh, well then, I'm out.
I'm looking forward to hearing Holly Williams on the Opry tomorrow night. I hope she sings "Mama" as that is one fantastic country song.
I'd love to see a Hank III "country show" but I too would head for the doors before his "punk" set. Hank III should have Unknown Hinson do a set between his two musical personas as it would make a nice transition! (lol)
Whitney Duncan is sooo skinny what other type of dipping could she do? (lol) Other favorite songs that reference skinny dipping: Blake Shelton's "Cotton Pickin' Time" and Amber Dotson's wonderful "Good Ol' Boy's Kinda Girl" which is on her MySpace player and sadly no where else to my knowledge.
Amber Dotson link: http://www.myspace.com/amberdotson
(What is it about Texas that spawns these amazing female country singers? Hmm…)
Rick's Random Tidbits: Jypsi will be one of the featured groups at Alan Jackson's "Aquapalooza" concert. See, Hazel Smith, Jon, and myself aren't the only ones who appreciate Jypsi's talent! (lol) Here are the deatils from "AllAboutCountry.com")-
"Alan Jackson Invites Supporting Acts For Aquapalooza – Jackson's The Headliner
Arista/Nashville superstar Alan Jackson invites the Carter Twins, Caitlin & Will, Jypsi and Matt Stillwell to open for him at this year's Aquapalooza, July, 25th on Lake Martin in Alabama.
They expect a crowd of over 3,000 boats to anchor at the concert on the water."
Is it true only plywood boats with rotten transoms will be allowed access? (lol)
Rick's Random Tidbits Vol. 2: In her most recent MySpace blog entry (June 30) Sarah Buxton was talking about getting together with a new producer who "thinks outside the box". She won't mention names yet (until its "Fo Sho") but my curiousity is piqued! Could it be Brett Beavers (possible), or Buddy Cannon (hopefully), or Carl Jackson (not likely), or more likely someone I'm not familiar with. Its probably a "rockin' country" kind of producer, so we'll have to wait to see!
If you want to listen to Holly Williams go to her MySpace site:
DONT go to her site, it has that annoying "let's talk about the song" stuff going on. You guys would have to see the thing I do about that to understand how funny that kind of stuff is – even if you like it, you'd laugh.
Holly Williams is ACTUALLY good. I hate to give any credit to people that are born into it. Let's be honest, in a position like that you cant' really have a true struggle, even if you wanted to. But she is. She needs a bit catchier of a song though, her current single isn't doing it for me.
Thanks for the props. You kids are real deal.

It looks bad that Madison County Treasurer Kurt Prenzler, A Republican, called a press conference to criticize the tax auctions conducted by his St. Clair County Democratic counterpart Charles Suarez -- especially so because Suarez' sister-in-law Marleen Suarez is Prenzler's opponent in November.
But it also looks bad that the interest rates charged delinquent taxpayers in St. Clair County spiked in 2007 and 2008 -- about 16 percent compared with 6 percent in 2006 and 8 percent to 10 percent from 2009 to 2012. The spike happened in the midst of the tax-buying scam orchestrated by former Madison County Treasurer Fred Bathon. Coincidence?
And it looks bad that the Madison County tax buyers who are in jail now as part of the Bathon scandal also contributed to Suarez and St. Clair County Democrats. Another coincidence?
Madison County now conducts automated tax auctions, and Suarez should do the same. As well as eliminating the opportunity for human manipulation, automation might also mean lower interest rates for distressed property owners. Madison County's average rate at its most recent sale was just 1.5 percent, dramatically lower than St. Clair County's rates.
Suarez opposes automating the auctions because he said it would cost too much. But the cost of outsourcing could be partially offset through less work for his staff. Also outsourcing would clearly show that Suarez is serious about doing the right thing for St. Clair County residents, and that would be money well spent.

Enjoy Bacardi's New Visual Identity from ATTIK
Facing increasing competition in a crowded spirits category and brand fragmentation, Bacardi turned to ATTIK for a new visual identity system that would strengthen and unite its entire rum portfolio and allow the brand to speak with a single voice on a global scale. Over the past year, the new system has been adopted by all of Bacardi's individual marketing territories, supporting the brand's highly visible 150th anniversary celebrations all around the world.
"The Casa de Bacardi has a rich history of creating great parties and great times, always bringing people together. To support a comprehensive revitalization of the Bacardi brand, ATTIK redesigned the BACARDÍ visual identity to match the warmth, masculinity and proud heritage of the iconic 150 year old spirits company. Our creative strategy was to help BACARDÍ own a distinct position in the competitive rums market."

Anglicanism is a tradition within Christianity comprising the Church of England and churches which are historically tied to it or have similar beliefs, worship practices and church structures. The word Anglican originates in ecclesia anglicana, a medieval Latin phrase dating to at least 1246 that means the English Church. Adherents of Anglicanism are called Anglicans. The great majority of Anglicans are members of churches which are part of the international Anglican Communion. There are, however, a number of churches outside of the Anglican Communion which also consider themselves to be Anglican, most notably those referred to as Continuing Anglican churches.
The symbol is composed of the main concepts of Anglicanism, the flag of the United Kingdom (the country in which this religion originated) and the Christian religion thus has joined these two concepts, the country's flag and symbol that represents Christianity, the cross. Among them we can see that even influenced the design itself fit certain design patterns of the London Underground.

Austerity triggers novel protests in Portugal
LISBON, Portugal A Portuguese revolutionary song from 40 years ago is haunting the bailed-out country's government.
Anti-austerity protesters are hounding senior officials by loudly singing at public events a celebrated tune from the 1974 Carnation Revolution. They have managed to silence some of their targets, including the prime minister when he was trying to give a speech in Parliament.
At the same time, people are putting the prime minister's name and tax number on their store receipts. That makes it possible, in theory at least, that Pedro Passos Coelho's spending will outstrip his official income and leave him liable for an end-of-year tax assessment.
Portuguese unhappy about the center-right government's relentless austerity drive aren't just getting mad, they're getting even - in imaginative ways.
The government is locked into debt-cutting measures in return for the ailing country's (EURO)78 billion ($102 billion) financial rescue in 2011. More tax hikes this year sliced another chunk off wages. The result: public outrage has mounted as living standards have tumbled.
After winter weather discouraged street protests and with strikes petering out amid falling income, dissenters in Portugal have formed civic movements which have come up with new ways of retaliating against their leaders' unpopular policies.
People in other European countries stricken by the eurozone financial crisis appear no less disaffected.
In Italy's national elections last weekend Beppe Grillo - a comedian with no political experience whose blog fed off public discontent with austerity - and his 5 Star Movement collected almost a quarter of the votes cast. In Spain, "Surround Parliament" protests take aim at what are perceived as discredited politicians amid a 26 percent unemployment rate.
"There's a broad feeling of powerlessness" among aggrieved Europeans, says Antonio Costa Pinto, a political scientist at Lisbon University's Institute of Social Science. "With few resources, (the civic movements) can make a big impact."
In Portugal, civic movements whose message travels quickly on social media have to a degree eclipsed trade unions, traditionally in the vanguard of protests. Those movements are behind protest marches planned Saturday in more than 20 Portuguese cities that are expected to draw big crowds.
They are trying to persuade the government to reverse course by jettisoning austerity policies and switching focus to state-fueled economic growth and job creation. Even so, while the protests have earned headline media coverage, the government shows no sign of budging.
The new wellspring of protests and the novel style of the dissent are another sign of social and cultural changes that have accompanied the financial crisis. The downbeat period has stripped away long-standing entitlements and modified the habits of many Europeans.
The Portuguese aren't short of reasons to grumble. The country is forecast to weather a third straight year of recession in 2013. Unemployment has ballooned to a record 17.6 percent, the European Union's statistics office said Friday. And an avalanche of tax increases and welfare cuts shows no sign of letting up as the government looks for another (EURO)4 billion to cut.
The recent mischief is needling politicians who are viewed as deaf to appeals for less hardship. "It helps achieve an aim, which is to grind down the government," said Costa Pinto, the political scientist.
