what did he say about him
The reds would never make it to the worlds series with lopez as the shortstop.Originally Posted by dieselman44

Nor will they even sniff the World Series, or possibily the playoffs, with the crap they are playing at SS right now(Clayton/Castro).
At least Clayton and Castro have a clue as to what to do with a ball.

Yeah...watch it roll on by.

--Ted Williams
Yeah, Clayton's statueesque range and three errors since the trade sure are an improvement over Lopez.
Stranger things have happened. You remember who the starting SS was for the D-Backs when they won the WS in '01?
And their two top starters were? (Here's a hint: the two best starters at a top of a rotation that I've seen in all my years of watching baseball)
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
That is about when I started listening. I think he said that not just the Reds but no team will make it to the playoffs with FeLo as their SS. He said he does not make the routine play and has brain cramps. He also said that he really likes Clayton and would not care if he hit .170. He thinks EE sits because Aurilia has that veteran presence needed down the stretch and EE does not. Well, that and the error problem. But Marty said that if EE can fix that problem he will be a force but he sees him eventually moving to 1st.
That is a better summary...

Anything worth mentioning from the press conference?
Lopez has always been in Marty's doghouse, with the exception of about 4 weeks last year when Lopez was really hitting hot.
As soon as the Reds picked up Castro again, you knew Marty would want Lopez out of town
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

I remember the beginning of this season Marty was talking during the 2nd inning (i think it was with fay) about how scary it will be when Felipe "scratches his potential." He also commented that "no one takes the ball to the opposite way better than him." It seems ever since trader jim left Felipe rubbed some people the wrong way either with work ethic or lack of focus, and now EE has taken Felipe's spot as the proverbial whipping boy.
Yeah, Marty has been beating the "EdE to 1st base" drum all season.
Frankly, I think that's a crazy idea. EdE's defense isn't that bad, and there's hope for improvement.
