Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Reds - Signed Journell
Cincinnati Reds - Signed P Jimmy Journell to a minor-league contract.
Journell was once a legitimate prospect, as most of you remember. After he demanded a switch to the bullpen, everything went wrong and a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff and that’s all she wrote. He’ll probably see time with the Reds at some point if they don’t release him in the spring, but that’s more out of desperation than any positive attributes of Journell. However, if he does get some of his stuff back and starts getting batters out, enough people will remember his name for him to get a few more shots. No risk for the Reds here, so a good signing.

1. greenbackYou know, there is a lot of risk to these kinds of signings. Somebody's liable to make a decision based on radar gun readings or a couple of good spring training games, especially with an organization as dysfunctional as the Reds. There's not a lot of salary at risk, but somebody like this could cost you some revenue.
He's certainly worth a MLC, but I'd be surprised if he could even hit those projected numbers, especially in a park where mistakes with his breaking stuff could easily be deposited in the cheap seats.
