From SI:
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Wily Mo Pena said Saturday that he's ready to play full time with the team, or they should trade him to another club.[...]
"The best thing they (the Reds) can do is to play me or trade me because I no longer want to be on the bench," he told The Associated Press on Saturday after a winter league game in the Dominican Republic.
Pena, 23, said he's recovered from back and quadriceps injuries that hampered his play last season and he's ready to contribute as a regular starting player.
He said he accepted bench time last year, "but for next season they are going to have to give me a permanent position or trade me to another team."
I wouldn't mind DanO obliging him. Out of all the Reds outfielders I think it would hurt the team the least to lose Pena. Still wary of DanO trading a player as important as Kearns/Pena/Dunn, but we'll see in the next month how it's going to go down I think.
