    With the Reds scuffling the way they are, could his presence in the clubhouse be useful?
    How many games is Rolen worth by being in the clubhouse?

    By the time Rolen would be game ready, the season would be over.

    I think just having his leadership around would be a major help, I was on board with bringing him back from the get go in a reduced role of course. I think this season illustrates how important it is to have a true leader in the club house and the Reds lost their 2 best guys in Rolen and Cairo.
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    Leadership or some sort of it needs to come from a player instead of a coach, Cairo is management not "one of the guys".

    I thought this was a gag thread, and I almost did!

    Who should Rolen replace on the roster?

    Hannahan, Paul, Robinson. You pick.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    I doubt Rolen would come back as a bench player.
    ...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

    Bring him back as a coach.
