Edinson Voquez - they got him in the trade for Josh Hamilton. He's winning, but he walks a lot and throws way too many pitches. It'll be interesting to see what he has left for the 2nd half.
Problem with the Reds - 2 big albatrosses playing the corner OF, no power hitters from the right side, Jay Bruce still in AAA when he should at least be in CF for this team, among other things.
I'll give them credit for at least trying to fix the pitching- Voquez was a good deal, Cueto is still very young, hopefully Homer Bailey is close to being ready again, Arroyo is finally coming on, and Harang has gotten no run support this year. The bullpen has been pretty good for the most part, except they blow up at the worse possible time.
