The talk in NY is that Joba will be brought up at some point to be the 8th inning setup man for Mariano. Their "Paplebon" if you will.

Votto is only 23. AAA is ok for this season. September call up is fine, or earlier if a trade.Originally Posted by dougdirt
But don't we plan on Votto being our first basemen on opening day 2008? Lets get him valuable experience now.
Good one...Sorry, the quote block must not have loaded on my computer...or you added it after the confusion...:thumbdown

I notice Dorn had a good night . 4 for 4 with 4 singles. Do we think he can be a legitimate prospect?
Yeah, but if he's going to refashion himself as a more control-based pitcher that tosses in the upper-80s, low 90s then he's going to have to get hit around a bit until he finds what works.
It was smart to put him in AAA where he can work against more refined hitters. Nothing to lose by throwing him in the deep end and seeing if he figures out how to swim.

Yes. He has OPS'd over .900 every month since a horrible April.
He is 23 years old, but he is producing at a very high level for his league.Code:Month AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS April .190 22 84 4 16 5 0 1 13 9 18 2 0 .274 .286 .559 May .310 28 100 18 31 8 0 5 21 7 17 1 0 .377 .540 .917 June .299 24 87 18 26 5 1 4 24 11 19 0 1 .394 .517 .911 July .409 12 44 7 18 3 0 2 7 3 9 0 0 .458 .614 1.072
And it's nice to see that even when he wasn't hitting in April, he continued to walk. It makes slumps easier to take.
