You don't have to score 11 runs a game, if you can catch the ball.
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
true this team will look different offensively.However , people forget this team went into a major slump for the last month.with decent #'s during that stretch,our offense would have looked alot more respectable.You would have to think Dunn and EE if not traded will supply 200-230 rbi.Jr would supply 70-90.
This of cousre barring trades.
most teams have at least a big 3 in the heart of the order.(stl=pujols,rolen,edmonds) which we would have in the above mentioned.
i still would like to see another stick but overall, i like the signing.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
You're right...this will conclude the offseason for the Reds.
All done.
Over.
It's better to hope for clutch hitting than to hope for clutch pitching or defense.
I wouldn't call Jr, Dunn, Ede, phillips in the middle of the lineup as Godawful. we won't be as strong offensively as we have been in the past, but we'll be a little bit better rounded
I understand that during Reds games they let the other team bat.
