Reds sign OF Taveras to 2-year contract (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Willy Taveras and the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a two-year contract Saturday, plugging the team's hole in center field. The speedy Taveras is coming off a down season with Colorado. He batted .251 with a paltry .308 on-base percentage in 133 games, though he did lead the major leagues with 68 stolen bases.
