February 4, 201313 yr Hey he was one of my favorite's as a kid. :ylsuper: I met him in P'burgh when I was a boy. Met him and Manny Sanguillen.
February 4, 201313 yr I'm a fan of using Rolen as a bat off the bench & occasional 3rd baseman. Scott can still play, but he cannot physically handle the rigors of a 162 game season. Cut that down to an 80-100 game season and he can contribute.

Cut that down to an 80-100 game season and he can contribute. I was thinking more like 40-50 games. Average of 75 last 2 years.
February 5, 201313 yr I was thinking more like 40-50 games. Average of 75 last 2 years. I just meant that he's a realistic option for 80-100 games, didn't necessarily mean he'd play in that many.
February 6, 201313 yr How about Chico Ruiz? I have more range than Rolen left. Let's see I figure about 60 games off with shoulder, 60 with sore back, so maybe he's good for 40 games 20 starts and a .149 average if they don't throw fast balls.:deadhorse:
February 12, 201313 yr Reds @Reds Reds President of Baseball Operations and GM Walt Jocketty said of 3B Scott Rolen, who will not be attending camp with the Reds... Reds @Reds “Scott made significant contributions to our recent success, it isn’t a coincidence we made the playoffs in 2 of his 3 full seasons here... Reds @Reds ...(Scott) made a huge impact in Cincinnati with his work ethic and leadership on the field, in the clubhouse and in our community.” Reds @Reds Rolen said, "Right now I’m simply not ready to make a commitment. I would like to leave my options open, without closing any doors.... Reds @Reds ...I am looking forward to all of the challenges, both personally and professionally, I will face in the future.”
February 13, 201313 yr @Reds Rolen said, "Right now I’m simply not ready to make a commitment." So it sounds like the Reds made an offer to him.
February 14, 201313 yr I am very happy he did not return too much distraction and he's at the end of the rope due to injuries.
February 14, 201313 yr It's time to go, unless he wants to come back a some type of coach or something. It's time for him to step aside and give Frazier a shot.
February 15, 201313 yr Dude gives as quality of an AB as anyone in the big's. Has he slowed a bit, sure. But to think he wouldn't help this team as the first bat off the bench to PH is absurd.
February 15, 201313 yr Just plain false... What is your definition of quality AB and where does Rolen fall short?
