August 27, 201610 yr Author Was thinking about this a bit last night. If the Blue Jays would offer a package similar to Devon Travis, Dalton Pompey, Sein Reid-Foley, Anthony Alford, Richard Urena, and Vlad Guerrero Jr. in exchange for Votto, I'd probably do it if I'm the Reds. Outside of something of that magnitude, I wouldn't even entertain the idea. I've read the Reds getting rid of or keeping fan favorite Votto compares to the Cardinals decison to let the beloved Albert Pujols go and setting themselves up to be the consistent winner that they have turned out to be by freeing up that money. What say you?
August 28, 201610 yr If Joey Votto was a free agent this year, would you give him a 7 year $172 million deal? I would say he is worth a top 25 salary. Just not sure if it would be worth it to the Reds but someone would want him I would think.

Joey Votto will be 33 years old in a few weeks and 7 years would carry through until he's 40?

August 29, 201610 yr Votto's approach and swing is evolving into what Barry Bonds was doing later in his career. Very patient at the plate. Take the walk if they don't give you a good pitch. Very short, compact swing. Choking up on the bat, especially when behind in the count is another thing Bonds was doing. Bonds used a short bat too. What size bat does Votto use? Better yet, the need to keep track of his hat size...:sarcastic:

Wow never thought of that but replaying Bonds swings and the bat in my head it totally clicked. Good call.
