Wow, throw out Choo's injury-riddled 2010 where he only played 85 games, and he has averaged an .860 OPS and 150 games played per season the last 3 years. That may just help this Reds lineup...

Well, his family is Asian (or at least his dad's side of the family is), but he was born and raised in Panama.Quote:

I don't know what Gregorius projects to be exactly, but saying he's a better hitter than Janish isn't exactly hard to believeQuote:

Of course not, but there is a big difference between a .600 OPS and the guy Gregorius projects to become.Quote:
