May 1, 201214 yr Edwin Encarnacion sure would look good at 3B on this team right now. No kidding, he is on fire. I'm sure it won't last.
May 1, 201214 yr I always liked EE and it was obvious at least to me that he had a ton of potential...He is just now 29 years old and came up with the Reds at 22 and it might have hurt him just a bit...I also don't think that the fans helped him as they were pretty hard on him...The biggest thing against though was him playing the Hot Corner, he is made to be a LF/DH or possible a 1st Baseman...His defense but too much pressure on him in Cincy because quite simply he stunk at 3B...He in my mind is having a similar career to Jose Bautista, Edwin actually reminds me of him alot...And Edwin always could hit that's another thing I don't think people understood...I hated that trade and still do and EE was one of my favorite Reds...This is interesting and shows that EE always had the power and hitting tool, he just didn't completely tap into it yet... Here are EE's first 4 seasons in Cincy, He was young and hit HR's, Doubles, Drove in Runs and actually hit for a decent average...

May 1, 201214 yr It's Braun....If Bruce can keep pace with Braun in terms of production, I'm thinking the Reds are going to be in great shape the remainder of this season.
