Reds close to a deal with Josh Fogg

The Reds are reportedly extremely close to a one year deal with Pitcher Josh Fogg for somewhere around $1 million. I personally love this deal. Josh Fogg won 11 games last year with a 4.94 ERA. I know that's not spectacular, but its decent...Its definately as good as Matt Belisle will give you. And he's been consisitent with it over the last 4 years....If nothing else, you have to atleast admit he's a good #4/5 starter and especially for the money. There is nothing wrong with bringing in a LOT of pitchers for spring training and letting the best 5 get the starting 5 positions. At the worst, we lose $1 million, but I do not see that being possible, because Josh Fogg is a bonifide backend rotation guy, who eats up 170 inningsa year, which is average...Oh, and I guess it's kind of cool that I once sat in seats given to me by Josh Fogg when he was in town with the Pirates. His college roommate at Purdue was my first flight instructor...
