Take a deep breath. Votto would make for a very interesting lineup addition for sure. Though I like it I don't see a Votto deal as Atkins/Sapiro signed Smoak for about 1/2 the cost per year of Votto, and Smoak is keeping the bench warm while they hope for the stars to realign for him. Add to this the FO haven't seriously attempted to sign any of their high end franchise players this spring and in all seriousness will likely loose them to FA. In July they didn't signed any for sure relief help. This front office would rather play the slot machines of buy cheap and hope for the stars to realign which has admittedly worked with Grilli, maybe Benoit/Liriano but not so much with Morales, Chavez........Votto isn't in the equation...this FO is to cheap and love to play the penny slots
