July 5, 201214 yr I wouldn't say anything about Walt's tenure here is unfortunate, comparing it to the 15 years before him.
July 5, 201214 yr They are dead last in the MLB with .244 OBP from leadoff. The team that is 28th is .271 so that just shows how bad they really are. OBP from #2 is serviceable at ..327 #14 out of 30 MLB teams. They have 3 stolen bases from the leadoff spots worst in MLB by a long shot. Everyone else has at least 7.
July 5, 201214 yr You mean Bruce right? He has the most RBI on this team. Wrong!! I'm talking about everyone not named Votto! Don't read things into my posts that aren't there. Hammer, you know how I feel about Bruce, but not all of my posts are about Bruce. Bruce's RBI's come from Votto and Phillips getting on base, that's a fact. He also leads the team in strikeouts. Reds need to start hitting the ball, period.
July 5, 201214 yr Corcino is as well. I know he is, but he shouldn't be IMO. In order to get talent, you've got to give up solid, top prospects, and I think Cigrani has more upside.
July 5, 201214 yr Yep. For some reason they have never considered leadoff a priority. I am not sure they will change that now.

July 5, 201214 yr He also leads the team in strikeouts. He's actually tied with Stubbs, and if you take into account Stubbs has played 16 less games than Bruce, it's pretty apparant who really leads the team in K's.
July 5, 201214 yr I've been a big Stubbs fan since he got here but it's getting more and more apparent he won't ever figure it out. Time to move to plan B at CF soon (Probably not this year even).

That's the problem with the Reds right now....Who exactly is Plan B? They need to move Hamilton up to AA and let him start roving CF there. See how it goes the rest of the year. If it goes well, give him the opportunity next Spring to win the job.

If it goes well, give him the opportunity next Spring to win the job. I agree but I don't think that is going to happen. Some expect him to get promoted this coming week so we will see where he starts playing.
July 5, 201214 yr CIN: Latos (7-2, 4.42 ERA) SD: Volquez (5-7, 3.68 ERA) Should be a good one tonight. I expect a low scoring game.
