Casey McGeheeis a 31-year-old third baseman coming off a roughly league-average season for the Miami Marlins, and the Reds already have Todd Frazier, who is decidedly better than league-average. So why did McGehee’s name pop up on this list?

Well, it didn’t. Not really. McGehee, in this context, is more of a concept than an individual. The idea is that if the Reds could find a serviceable third baseman on the cheap (McGehee made $1.1 million this year), then they could move Frazier to left, and the offense would get a boost in the process. You know, because they’d essentially be replacing Ludwick with McGehee (or whoever) in the lineup.

They’d be creating runs from thin air, for free. Magic!
