Castillo goes tonight. Winker is DHing while VanMeter is in LF. I like that.

I like dropping Puig in the lineup too
I don't get the VanMeter start....hope he hits a HR though.
When I first came to redszone recently, the first thing I saw was this: The world is a messy place. People are inconsistent and complicated. Maybe we should see... Thanks, wrong verb- I thot, man, I'm gonna like this place.
Big chance tonite, local boy Josh VanMeter- coupla hits hopin hard. Few Fort Wayne IN area boys have made it to the bigs. One not too long ago made it to manager of the Indians. Uh.... can't remember his name (swell indication of me age). OK, looked it up- Eric the Wedge. Has anyone even heard of FWI?

What's everyone's read on VanMeter? Is he pressing? Is he not getting enough at bats? His OBP is pretty good but there's a lack of pop with his bat. Is this going to be a short stay?
EDIT: Is he really only 5'11" 165? He looks much thicker.
I like Van Meter's swing, no major, glaring hole -- unlike some right hand hitting Reds.
I don't know where you get "average pitches seen" but he seems to always work the count. I have as much faith in him as anyone in that lineup.

The DH irks me.
