Or his 15 losses and 5.69 Era?

 

True, but he's always been like this. He can be great for a month at a time or he can have a month like June. He's their 4th starter. He's an innings eater that will win between 12-15 games. A contender isn't giving anything for him now anyways b/c of his arm.

Not exactly instant offense. Why send Burton down? He has been pitching pretty well.

I assume it's because Burton has options left and most of the rest of the bullpen doesn't.

So is Sutton the new flavor of the month at third base?

 

I don't really get it, Edwin is due back at the end of this week.

From what I've read, Encarnacion won't be back until about the All-Star break.

I think a trade involving Encarnacion is about to go down. Edwin didn't play at all for the Bats last night. It was listed as a manager's decision. Since when do players out on rehab not play because of the manager's decision. Especially with Louisville having today off.

Seattle has an opening at third with Beltre out for a while.

Dickerson cf

Hairston ss

Votto 1b

Phillips 2b

Hernandez c

Richar 3b

Cueto RHP (7-4, 2.86)

I talked to 4 different Reds plays Monday that said he would be back this week.

On July 10th he would not be able to rehab anymore. So they have to call him up or put him back on the DL.

You thought that Brandon Webb was in the flippin' dugout last night. This after you phoned his dad to ask if he was here. So, even with solid info that his son was in Alabama, you still didn't believe it and walked down to the dugout to verify. And now you expect me to believe that EE is on the chopping block. Come on!!!!!!

I thought maybe Brandon had flown in to Cincinnati after talking to his dad. I didn't realize until later that he was going to be in Birmingham until at least Friday. You even said yourself that it looked like him from where we were sitting.

That was before you talked to his dad.:ohbrother:

 

Don't tease me with the EE trade talk.

Dusty says Encarnacion won't be activated this week:

 

Even if Encarnacion is OK and on track, manager Dusty Baker said there is no plan to activate him on this six-game homestand against Arizona and St. Louis.

 

“I’m not counting on him for the homestand,” he said. “Optimistically, maybe the next road trip.”

He also said Votto likely wouldn't come back until the team returned home. Votto played two series on the road...

From Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus on June 29:

 

The Reds are also keeping the rehab of Encarnacion at a slow pace, as he'll stay at Triple-A Louisville for at least another week, pushing his return to after the All-Star break.
