UKMustangFan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ah but his OBP his high:lol: You're preachin to the choir when it comes to the Donkey:D :lol: I think Bruce is the perfect guy for the 3-hole, but I just don't see it happening this year. Next year's lineup could look something like this: CF-Hariston SS-Keppinger RF-Bruce 2B-Phillips LF-Votto 3B-Encarnacion 1B-Alonso C-some guy off the street P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelCrazy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Does anybody know where Yonder Alonso is currently playing? Has he even been signed? I tried to find him in the farm system, but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Alonzo isn't even signed yet, and I see 2010 as the earliest you'll see him in a Reds uniform. I figured it was wishful thinking, but I just don't see Dunn back in a Reds uniform after this season, so I'd assume they'll be moving Votto to LF.

HammerTime Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I think Alonzo will be ready at some point next year. As the year goes on it is pretty obvious Votto doesn't need to playing 1B and I think he will move to LF if Dunn is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malachicrunch Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 If anybody is going to "carry" this team in the 2nd half, it'll be the starting pitching & bullpen. I was talking offensively. Its obvious the pitching staff has to perform. Pitching is not quite the same issue as it was last year. The O however has been subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Jocketty known for trading people like Alonzo while he's a prospect more than anything else? I think Votto will be the 1B for a while here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiesbballcoach Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah, let's put Dunn and his .220 average there....And you're complaining about Jr. hitting .237? Get real. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CIN/1976.shtml Johnny Bench's stats from the 1976 season. BA .234 HR 16 RBI 74 OB .348 Slgg .394 Runs 62 Dunn this year BA .228 HR 22 RBI 52 OB .386 SLgg .515 Runs 44 Ready to rip Bench for having such a horrible season in 1976?

Maybe if this weren't the norm for Dunn you would have an arguement, but now we're comparing Adam Dunn to Johnny Bench....You Reds fans amuse me. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Joe Morgan. Bench split his time between hitting cleanup and #5, and occasionally in the 6 hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
