August 5, 201313 yr Considering the holes in this lineup, why is Mesoraco still batting 8?Because that's where catchers fit in this lineup from Dusty. Catchers bat 8th. That way no one gets tweeked when Handoza comes back and is immediately inserted. You know, Dusty logic. It's been tough enough on him with the Robinson, Choo, Heisey 1 and 2 slots lately. NO CHANCE he fools with his steady 8hole.
August 5, 201313 yr It was a simple case of one team being that much better than the other. Nothing more, nothing less. The Cards have more .300 hitters in their lineup than the Reds have had in 5 years combined.
August 5, 201313 yr How are the Reds minors looking Doc? J.J. Cooper Twitter - Minor league org standings, Astros are No. 1. Reds No. 30. Astros don't have a U.S. minor league team below .500. Reds don't one above .500 Edited August 5, 201313 yr by HammerTime
August 5, 201313 yr Author How this minors looking Doc? J.J. Cooper Twitter - Minor league org standings, Astros are No. 1. Reds No. 30. Astros don't have a U.S. minor league team below .500. Reds don't one above .500 Yep. And that's where the help is going to come from. This team has been financially handcuffed for the foreseeable future. Hard to see much improvement from the offense on the horizon, and it'll only get worse next year when Choo goes on his way.

August 5, 201313 yr Wins & losses on the minor league levels don't do much for me. How about loads of guys that do not project the the big show???
August 5, 201313 yr How about dead last in OPS, BA, OBP and Slugging in the International league? AAA Dead last in OPS in AA as well.
