I can’t see the Reds netting a pick out of this situation. If they want him back they should offer him arbitration. If they don’t want him they should not.
I can’t imagine ANY club willing to part with a 1st or 2nd rounder for a guy who might catch 100 games and give you decent production. That’s a really steep price to pay and not get much in return.

Yankees should go out and pick this guy up. I can’t tell you how tired I am of seeing Girardi strut his lineup card out with having Cervelli and Posada catch. Huge upgrade over both of them, and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t cost much. Plus he’s bound to hit some more HR in Yankee stadium.

Hit more homeruns in Yankee Stadium compared to Great American Ballpark (one of the most hitter-friendly stadiums in MLB)??? I think Hernandez is a great catcher, but I think you’re overstating it just a bit. Take however many homeruns he hits at GABP and he’ll hit only 75% as many anywhere else.
Henry Castellanos
Alright, alright, he probably would hit around the same number this year, but he would still be a solid complement to Jorge.

I see you rooting for our Yanks alot to get him and i actually agree with you it would be a solid Compliment to Jorge as catching 120-140 games is way behind him and Ramon is great and i mean he is a really great guy for us and in the clubhouse he works so well with the young pitcher i would personally like to see him back one a one year unless Cinnci goes hard after V-Mart that would be great but i dont see it hopefully they at least consider him and Napoli. These writers always count Reds out on catchers unless its Beck an i dont really want him.

I don’t see the Reds pursuing a different high level catcher through trade or free agency. I think if the Reds decide not to stay with Ramon Hernandez, they will look at internal options in the farm system. Personally, I hope they continue the Hanigan/Hernandez duo because it worked this season.

I dont either but if they do i hope its those to (Napoli and V-Mart) and maybe a Flyer on Chris Ianetta i really like that kid and he is under contact he has some power and its a Buy low person just as i would love to see Reds in on Matt Kemp play left field for them, But i would love for Ramon to come back he is a very well liked guy here with us and i dont think we have any catchers in our farm ready for the show so they have to get another backstop if they dont retian Ramon

I would think the Reds would resign him as a stop gap until Mesoraco is ready. 1-2 years most.

Based on this past season Mesoraco could be ready for his first taste of the majors as soon as opening day if he has a good spring. On the flip side I sure would not mind giving him 1 more year to get everything tuned up to make the majors in 2012 either.
1 year deal is fine by me for Hernandez but anything more is too much. I could see perhaps a similar deal that he got this year with a slight increase to maybe say 4 million.
