Glad to see what I was seeing in his swing with regard to his knee, confirmed. Hope we see the power return. I think we will.:thumbup:

I enjoyed the (I'm paraphrasing): "People are obtuse. I'm patient. I'm not going to expand the zone because doing doesn't help the team. That said, if there's a game winning RBI waiting for me on 3B, I'm looking to drive it in."
I'm just glad he's confident enough to stick to his guns.
I also liked the Victor Conte dig about "you can only get so good before you have to knock on his door."
Votto doesn't sound bullish on Hamilton, but I hope he takes him under his wing and teaches him what he can about being successful.
I have no idea whether he actually remembered meeting that caller at a gas station 3-4 years ago, but I believe that if anyone on the Reds would remember something like that, it would be Votto.
Joey is one fantastic dude.
He avoids all of the stereotypical jock talk and doesn't back down from his critics.
Man, having the old Joey back this year would be awesome. Especially if Bruce can take the next step up.

You can say that again.
Especially if Bruce can take the next step up.
Thanks for posting.
Now I'm really getting PUMPED up for this season.
The thought of Joey maybe bashing opposite field homers by the bushel again is just intoxicating.
