This week on the podcast, the Crack Technical Staff and I overcome our minor health ailments to chat about the news around Redsland and all of the world of baseball. Here's the stuff we talk about:

• William Bergolla and Ray Olmedo are having decent winters in Venezuela. Too bad there's no room for them in Cincinnati.
• One columnist's opinion that Chris Denorfia could fit the center field needs of the Marlins. Alas, it's true.
• One columnist's opinion that Aurilia could get from the Giants something like the 3-year, $13 million contract that the Cubs gave Mark DeRosa. That's what being nice to bloggers will get you, baby.
• Ken Griffey Jr.'s arena football team: what to get for the guy who has everything.
• Sean Casey re-signing with the Tigers.
• The mad cash Boras is going to get for Scott Schoeneweis.
• One columnist's opinion that Adam Dunn could fit the offensive needs of the Orioles. They probably could use someone offensive.
• Reds sign Alex Gonzales to a 3-year, $14 million deal. In your face, Castro!
• Reds sign Mike Stanton to a 2-year contract. It's like deja Chris Hammond all over again.
• Reds trade Jason LaRue to the Royals for nothing. That's just smart economics.
• Cubs sign Soriano to an unholy 8-year, $135 million contract.
