    I'll admit there isn't much to choose from, but I'm not sure Heisey is being used optimally. Then again, Price must have his reasons.
    The optimal way to use Heisey is in Louisville

    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.

    Because we've had 4+ years of this guy. He stinks. We know it.

    I'd rather watch new blood stink with at least some tiny speck of hope for improvement rather than stink that has stunk for 4+ years.

    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.

    Yeah they obviously do.

    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.

    Even with Chris' struggles, he's still got 100 points in BA and OPS over Roger. I have ZERO clue what anybody sees in Roger Bernadina at this point. None.

    Yeah, I guess Ludwick is getting a day off. He's down to a .670 OPS and hasn't hit for any power this year whatsoever.

    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.
