Re: What is Votto's Market Value?
Hey Heisey, the next time that you hit a two out triple, just remember who is hitting behind you.......I mean, at the very least get yourself caught in a rundown trying to cross the plate. Votto's 4 pitch strikeout there was worse than anything Cozart (or even Leake for that matter) has done all year.
Heck, when there are "runners in scoring position", I would much rather see them pinch-hit Hannahan!!!

Pac, my suggestion would be NOT to post in threads while watching games. Rampant emotionalism doesn't make you a better poster.

Sorry, We CAN'T trade Votto, if we trade Votto, my wife will want a new Reds jersey to replace her Votto one.:D

Trading him now is a bit foolish anywho. Over the next two year he has very team friendly salary due to him.

Fixed that for you.

.306 average, 22HR, and 66RBI = $20 Million a year Hal Morris/Sean Casey Hybrid!!

Casey wad playing in the biggest hitting era ever though. The game has changed as well as the value of a run.
Assimilate or die

One..... Maybe two.
Re: What is Votto's Market Value?
The Reds will overpay Joey for the length of his contract. I'm just hoping they end up on the plus side over the next 6-7 years because the hangover in the out years of that contract is going to be ugly.

Do you really consider this year's .304 avg, 22HR, & 66RBI to be "on the plus side" ??
Re: What is Votto's Market Value?
Joey is making 17M this year. His performance is in line with that paycheck.
I think you are going to have to come to terms that you can finish in the top5-10 in MVP voting and still be worth 15-20M. You don't have to actually win the MVP every year to justify that salary any longer.

It is surprising (or disturbing) how many players didn't have their best year (or even a pretty bad year by their standards) but are still making that much money. And A-Rod is just ridiculous (the man and the money he makes).
