I don't get the complaining about Heisey. If he's not playing today...the other option is Bernadina. And down at Louisville...it isn't any better.
Bernadina is a lefty hitter and has played in Washington extensively. So he might be a better choice today. Heisey used to hit righties well, but not for over two years.
As for Tracy's comment about Heisey in Louisville, the Reds must like him on the club, they signed him for about $1.75 million in the off-season. Suprised me when they did.
My frustration with Heisey people constantly complain that he should get a chance and every single time he has been give a shot he plays like complete crap. If Bernadina were playing people would probably be just as annoyed. With Bruce and Votto both out of the lineup and a good RH pitcher throwing I'd like to see Lutz out there.
Good comeback for mike. No score after two
there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.
Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008
I can't wait for next year, when an OFer goes on the 15 day dl and Heisey gets his chance to show the Reds he belongs. He'll show us then guys, he'll show us then.

I think his "chance" has come and gone. But as a 4th outfielder, he's pretty darned solid IMO.
As for Lutz, if I had to guess I think they don't want to rush him like they were sort of forced to last year. And that's a solid argument. But yeah, I'd prefer Lutz over Bernadina for sure. And Soto.
BB for Hamilton.
Billy should be able to run wild of Strasberg.
