July 7, 201412 yr Why wouldn't they just let Skip play 1B? Because he's only 3 inches taller than GT...
July 7, 201412 yr Author Or the less crazy option of bringing up Lutz... Id rather have Lutz at first and Jay in right, the Jay at first and Skip in right. It just makes too much sense. You don't have to give up anything and you can have a spot filled pretty easily.
July 7, 201412 yr It's clear they are trying to do everything from keeping Voto off the DL before the All Star break... Stupid Votto will probably go on the DL when Pena comes off paternity leave.

You don't have to give up anything and you can have a spot filled pretty easily. Defensively that makes more sense, although I'd much rather have Bruce and Skip in the lineup than Bruce and Lutz.
July 7, 201412 yr Author Votto will probably go on the DL when Pena comes off paternity leave. Still, what happens when Meso gets a day off? Santiago plays or Bruce plays out if position. It's stupid for them to play a man short anyways.
July 7, 201412 yr And in typical Reds fashion the Reds will play one man short for 5 or 6 games. I'd assume they have some type of plan in place with this week's doubleheader...
July 7, 201412 yr Author They're about a week late in moving Votto to the DL and it still hasn't happened.
July 7, 201412 yr They're about a week late in moving Votto to the DL and it still hasn't happened. Completely ridiculous. Swallow your pride, Votto.
July 7, 201412 yr Joe Danneman @FOX19Joe Price says using Bruce at first is to see what options Reds have in house in case Votto misses significant time. Won't play there often. Brad Johansen @bradjohansen Price said Votto examined at Beacon today and is waiting on results. Optimistic this is not a season ending injury to quad #Reds
