March 31, 200917 yr ... for a player to be named later. Doesn't surprise me. Keppinger didn't hit well this spring, and the Reds were looking to move him. That opens the door for Rosales or Janish to make the team. Keppinger should get a shot to play with the Astros since Boone left the team. The best of luck to Keppy.
March 31, 200917 yr Author Blum and Keppinger platooning at 3B ... man, the Astros are a sorry lot. Keppinger is a useful guy, but I don't know that the Astros can find much time for him at 2B, his best position.
March 31, 200917 yr Keppy can play every infield position fairly well. His bat was solid for a portion of the season last year, then he was absolutely abysmal. Hate to see a versatile guy like Keppinger go. I was hoping he could have a big year this year. But, we've got some young talent. Here's hoping we get something solid in return. Just don't know what (who) the Astros have (and what they're willing to give up.)

Just don't know what (who) the Astros have (and what they're willing to give up.) Keppinger is a little overmatched at SS and he doesn't have the bat to play 3B. He's either a 2B or a solid utility player. With Phillips there, he just doesn't give the Reds what they need.

March 31, 200917 yr Author I don't know much about Rosales, but if Janish wins the utility infield job, the Reds will have two legitimate shortstops, defensively speaking, on the roster. That's two more than they had most of last season.
April 1, 200917 yr I don't know much about Rosales, but if Janish wins the utility infield job, the Reds will have two legitimate shortstops, defensively speaking, on the roster. That's two more than they had most of last season. I like the thought of keeping Janish. He's versatile, relatively young, and is smooth in the field. It scares me that the Reds' mgt. is trusting Alex Gonzalez to (1) play a full season; and (2) perform at a high enough level.

Keppy was out of options and hitting under his weight this spring with the most at bats on the team.
April 1, 200917 yr Keppy was out of options and hitting under his weight this spring with the most at bats on the team. Of course, I wouldn't say that either Janish (.234) or Rosales (.239) are exactly tearing the cover off the ball either.
