Wait...the guy on the top left is actually C. Trent?
How doe someone completely let themselves go like that? What was that weird tic like expression about?

But if he's at top of the order will it mean more fastballs for Phillips and Votto and Bruce and loss of concentration for the pitcher when facing our most dangerous hitters.
I guess if we had a high OBP guy your arguments make perfect sense to put phantom high OBP guy leading off ahead of Phillips and Votto and put Hamilton's speed lower in the order ahead of Mes and Coz. But we don't have that guy so I'd guess Price will hit BH at leadoff when he plays.

hopefully whatever the "restructure" that Welsh and Brantley talked about in his approach at the end of July holds:
Apr: 208/234/308
May: 278/305/392
Jun: 248/287/396
Jul: 230/258/333
Aug: 282/326/400
Sep: 281/300/406
700+ OPS with his defense I can live with. however, if by the end of April he's back at sub 650 OPS, the screw him and move on. . .unfortunately that would have required Jockety to have signed someone to legitimately move on to.

You know, I scanned through the thread since it was bumped yesterday with Prices's quotes, and didn't see Dusty's name mentioned once.
Stating that Price believes Bruce can be the cleanup hitter, and doesn't worry about one at bat late in the game over ruling several at bats early, doesn't really classify as Dusty bashing.
For the record, I had no problem with Dusty, but I do feel it was time to move on. I am excited to see what happens with Price, and I personally hope he does stick with Bruce in the 4th spot on a regular basis.
