Craigslist – a bastion of hope for the lonely, the losery, the desperate. Afraid to talk to that girl on the subway? Post a missed connection and maybe she’ll see it! In dire need of a roommate, like, yesterday? Ask and ye shall receive. In need of some early-morning action during Spring Training? You can probably get laid that way, too. Here’s an ad our reader spotted:

Time Before Baseball Practice, M4W-30

“I am here for two months before i head back up north. I have this morning before practice…..looking for a woman to enjoy the morning with. Can be married or single, disease free is important. I am 5′9″ 180 short hair and blue eyes, in shape, of course.”

Normally, we’d open this up to the masses so everyone could venture guesses as to who the player might be, but our emailer was a full-service tipster: after scanning the Cincinnati Reds roster, our emailer believes the 30-year-old looking for some action is outfielder Ryan Freel. Yes, the same Freel who admits to having an imaginary friend.

So, which reporter in Cincinnati wants to ask Freel about this?
