With Joey now playing Left field.. is this a fix for when we finally con someone into taking dunn, and using Votto in the outfield if we keep hatteberg and conine? That is the only logic I see coming out of it..

I doubt it
Which part??
Votto playing left field for the Reds. I'm sure they'll keep him at first base 95% of the time when he's called up.
Something is wrong with the universe if we are trying to find someone to TAKE Dunn. If, Votto is up here, he is at 1B because Hatte and or Conine are gone.
Huh? Did I miss something? Since when has Votto been moved to LF?
I had heard that a few times, first being from a buddy 2 days ago.. they even mentioned it during the game tonight on TV..
He has played some left field in AAA- I have heard from some posters he is even worse than Dunn in LF. Of course, he is inexperienced at the position, and may improve with time.
He's played a handful of games out there to get a little experience. There was a recent interview where he talked about how it was going. He said that he's getting used to seeing the ball off the bat and taking good paths.
Hatteberg is good. But in my opinion, he's not good enough to block Votto at 1b. Votto being able to play in LF every once in a while is useful but asking a top prospect to learn another position shortly before his promotion to the show, is? I dont believe the Braves have yet to ask Saltamachia to switch, although if he stays he will have to. Don't think it is a very good idea to make a rookie play a foreign position in his first call-up.
