Rolen made like less mentally stressful for the young staff the Reds had. I still haven't seen him deliver a ball to 1b higher than the eyes or lower than the knees. The man is a robot programmed to get you out. 2010 was the beginning of the defensive era for the Reds, and it put them about a year ahead of much of baseball. They got rid of KGJ, AD and EE and brought in actually better all around players. IIRC, the Reds insisted on moving EE and TOR didn't really dig it, at least their fans didn't. EE was elated to be traded, he wasn't liked here I don't think. Especially by the fans. But, just for fun, here is the amended and untainted holy Reds lineup free from the spoilage of bartering (except where everyone feels good about it):

Choo CF
Dunn 1b
Votto LF (kept there in 2006 when AD was moved to 1b)
EE 3b
Bruce RF
Phillips 2b
Cozart SS
Mez C
