Affeldt officially a Red and maybe a starter

Fay's blog has news from the press conference.  Affeldt passed his physical and is officially a Cincinnati Red.

The reason we got him...?  A chance to compete for a spot in the starting rotation.  This seems like a good deal.  He seems like as good as any of the other free agent pitchers out there.  I'd be surprised if the Reds were the only team that gave him a chance to be a starter.
