I love the idea of adding a high-OBP guy like Choo ahead of Votto, but I am mildly skeptical of Choo's defense in CF. He's hardly played there before, and he doesn't have a ton of range, really.
But, the Reds don't seem to be giving up very much, and getting that OBP at the top of the order is huge.

yeah that is an awesome deal for the Reds. Love Choo's game. Good power/speed combo and gets on base at a high clip.

Choo would make the Reds awfully dangerous, as if they weren't dangerous enough already. There was also talk about them trying to get Alejandro De Aza, but I think Choo would be a better fit for them.
Also, this made me laugh.

Trading established position players like Andrus for pitching prospects makes even less sense in fantasy baseball than real baseball. I'm hardly the only one smart enough to recognize this.

Wow, apparently the Indians are going to be getting Trevor Bauer in the deal
really, Arizona? They must have really hated Bauer's attitude/he must really be a huge douche bag

So the deal is this
Reds get - Shin-Soo Choo, Jason Donald
Dbacks get - DiDi Gregorius, Tony Sipp, Lars Anderson
Indians get - Trevor Bauer, Drew Stubbs, Matt Albers, Bryan Shaw

For a SS, he's not bad at all. They definitely could (and should) have gotten more for Bauer though.

Didi is a hell of a defensive SS as of now and he could end up being a solid hitter as well. Totally shocked Trevor Bauer is in this deal though.

Joey Votto is probably crying tears of joy right now. He won't know what to do with himself when he comes up to the plate and theres actually someone on in front of him for a change.

On my phone and for some reason it seemed logical.
I feel bad for you though and that's coming from a Red Sox fan.
