The Reds are looking for a versatile outfielder who bats from the left side
and they are now interested in Fred Lewis, according to Jon Paul Morosi of
FOX Sports. The 30-year-old played all three outfield positions for the Blue
Jays last year and boasts a .280/.354/.442 line against right-handed pitching
in his five-year MLB career. That would make him a natural complement to
Jonny Gomes, Drew Stubbs and Chris Heisey, who all bat right-handed. Lewis is
precisely the type of player the Reds would like to add.
“What we’re looking for is veteran outfielder, preferably a left-handed
hitting outfielder," GM Walt Jocketty told John Fay of the Cincinnati
Enquirer last week.
The team is also considering Scott Podsednik, who is versatile and
left-handed, like Lewis. The Blue Jays non-tendered Lewis in December and he
has since drawn interest from the Indians, Tigers, Mets and others. He hit 31
doubles last year and posted a .262/.332/.414 lin in 480 plate apperances for
the Blue Jays.
