Well guys, if Doug says All-Star...I believe him.
Seriously though, the Reds have Votto locked up through arbitration and stand a reasonable chance of competing during that time.
I understand the need to get Yonder Alonso on the field and add young talent by trading him...but the price for a guy like that with team control is exponentially higher that any other rental.
The Indians would need more than Kipnis to get that deal done, they just don't have the bullets for it...even if Votto did actually show up on the block.
