Hell, get him just so he isn't pounding the hell out of Arroyo anymore.

I recall Choo being a good fielder, but from his metrics last year he was brutal. Slight reason for concern there if he is expected to play CF.

The Indians would receive center fielder Drew Stubbs.....

PLEASE FOR LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY LET THIS HAPPEN

I've been out of pocket all day. Just confirmation that the Gregorius and Stubbs trade for Choo is all but complete. #reds

Gonna happen, boys...you can send your gift baskets to Shapiro now (though he'd likely trade them for some toilet paper that will be manufactured in 2014).

Honestly, keeping Stubbs would not have been the end of the world. Last year Choo hit .199 vs LHP. Stubbs hit .283 vs. LHP. Heisey should be able to spell Choo when needed though.

Regardless of the above splits, Choo is exactly what we needed-- a high OBP guy at the top of the order. Hopefully he can provide average defense in CF. Overall, I really like this trade, even if Choo is a free agent at years end.

They could have traded Stubbs for Kim Jong il and I would have been happy with this trade.

Assuming Choo deal goes down, for the first time in what feels like 1000 years the Reds have a living breathing MLB caliber player at every position AND good pitching.

Think of how epic the fail is going to be for the next 4-5 years.
