Like I said, in all honesty I don't think people get it at all. Darnell McDonald and Lance Nix are not "known" things...well, they are, they are bad players that should only be called upon in an emergency situation. C'mon, if Dorn could handle LF at anything near a reasonable level they would have at least tried him there last year at some point. The Reds have brought up lots of minor league guys in the last few years whether they were helpful or not and given them opportunities. There are reasons Valaika and Dorn have not gotten those opportunities. Some of you love those AAA guys...yeah they are nearest Cincy in the organization, but most of them are not ever going to be of any value to the Reds (or probably any other organization). IMHO
