Ottawas depth chart, but moved up after Thoma

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Reds made a $14.1 million qualifying offer to leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo on Monday, but decided against the same approach for right-hander Bronson Arroyo and four others. They chose not to make qualifying offers to infielder Cesar Izturis, right-handed reliever Nick Masset and left-handed relievers Manny Parra and Zach Duke. All could re-sign with the Reds as free agents. Choo was one of the top leadoff hitters in the majors with a .423 on-base percentage, a .285 batting average, 21 homers, 54 RBIs, 20 steals and 107 runs scored. He avoided arbitration last season by agreeing to a one-year, $7,375,000 deal. If Choo accepts the offer, he stays for another season at $14.1 million. If he declines and signs with another team, the Reds will get compensation in next Junes amateur draft. He has until next Monday to make up his mind. Hes expected to seek a multiyear deal. Arroyo went 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA last season, the final year on his two-year, $23.5 million extension. He had base salaries of $7 million in 2012 and $6.5 million this year. The deal included $15 million deferred, paid out through 2021. Arroyo joined the Reds in 2006 and has a streak of nine straight seasons with at least 30 starts, making him a dependable part of any rotation. Izturis was a reserve infielder who batted .209 in 63 games with no homers and 11 RBIs. Parra was 2-3 with a 3.33 ERA in 57 games, filling the role of left-handed set-up man while Sean Marshall missed most of the season with shoulder tendinitis. Duke started the season with Washington, made 14 appearances for the Reds at the end of the season and was 1-2 with a 6.03 ERA overall. Masset has been limited by shoulder problems the last two seasons. Paul Posluszny Jersey .

The Redblacks host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (7-9) Friday night in their last home game of the year and as of Thursday afternoon, the team was anticipating a ninth consecutive sellout. You can watch all the action on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Fans can also listen to the action on TSN 1200 Ottawa. Head coach Rick Campbell says he would love nothing more than to send fans home with a victory as their final memory of their inaugural season. If that (sellout) happens its a pretty cool deal and a pretty big deal that you could sell out a whole season of a brand new football team, said Campbell. We want to give our fans something to cheer about. Our guys dont take it lightly about having a sellout for the whole season. Its a big deal and our players know its a big deal. In addition, Ottawa has the opportunity to play the role of spoiler. The Tiger-Cats, who are tied with Toronto for second in the East Division, are still looking to make the post-season and a win over the Redblacks could be essential to their playoff hopes. If theres one team and one game we want to win its this game right here, said Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, who played for the Tiger-Cats last season and was released in the off-season. Teams have played spoiler for us in our new season so hopefully we can play spoiler on this occasion. Campbell says the teams focus is on its own game, but Jovon Johnson admitted the idea of spoiling Hamiltons playoff hopes is appealing. At this point, since we know were not going forward in the playoffs and knowing how tight the race is in the East, we have every intention of playing spoiler, said Johnson. That will definitely be part of the plan. The Tiger-Cats havent had much success on the road this season, going 1-7 away from Hamilton but have defeated Ottawa twice this season. The two teams played two weeks ago where the Tiger-Cats defeated the Redblacks 16-6, but with a few adjustmentts the Redblacks believe the result could have been very different.dddddddddddd. Weve just got to finish our drives on the offence, said Burris. The defence did a great job of holding them at bay, but if we can pull on our side and put the ball in positions to score and make some plays when we have the chance, thats the stuff thats been killing us all year and until we overcome those kinds of things well continually put ourselves in bad positions. But I have a good feeling about this one. Once again the Redblacks will give rookie quarterback Danny OBrien an opportunity to play. Campbell said he anticipates OBrien will play at least five or six series over the course of the game. Last week against Montreal OBrien went 3 for 5 for 111 yards with one touchdown and one interception. We think hes a good player with a future and we want to get a look at him,. Campbell said. OBrien was originally No. 3 on Ottawas depth chart, but moved up after Thomas DeMarco suffered a season-ending injury in late August. Overall OBrien is 10 for 19 this season (52.6 per cent) for 177 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Burris has just one touchdown at TD Place. Antoine Pruneau, who was named the CFLs top Canadian for the month of October, was impressive in the Redblacks 16-6 loss to Hamilton two weeks ago where he had nine tackles and one sack. Pruneau leads all CFL rookies in defensive tackles this season with 62 and in his last 11 games as a starter, has led the Redblacks with 59 tackles. We know what theyre looking to accomplish and if we can stop them it would be an added bonus, said Pruneau. We know its going to be an intense game, but we were already very motivated to come out and play hard. This is our last home game and the best thing we could do is finish our season here with a win. Notes: On the offensive line, JMichael Deane will play at tackle, Jon Gott will play guard and Alexander Krausnick will play centre. Dobson Collins will play at receiver. On defence, Moton Hokins will play. Eddie Elder will not play Friday. ... Burris says his kids are willing to pass up trick or treating to come and watch him play.
