Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Saturday, December 27, 2008Reds - Signed TaverasCincinnati Reds - Signed SS Frank Taveras to a 2-year contract.With Alex Gonzalez coming off a pretty serious injury and Jeff Keppinger not hitting at all after coming back from his (and not being a SS defensively), the Reds are simply adding some shortstop depth here. Taveras has little power, but he's quick and can leg out an occasional double and handle the defensive skills of the position. The 26-year layoff is a concern, but Taveras was always in good shape and it should be like riding a bike. Wait, the Reds signed Willy Taveras? Well now, that's a significantly worse idea. Taveras is so bad at hitting a ball that the only thing he manages to break is the conservation of linear momentum law. ZiPS Projection - Willy Taveras (CF)

It's not turning out to be such a great steal for the Rockies either.
Even if Buchholz is looking solid right now...
Well, if ZiPS came up with the other Brian Hunter as similar, I think I'd have to scrap the whole thing and start over.
