    Has to be a roster issue.

    I would assume this to mean Votto stays?

    Wow, interesting and surprising indeed. Hopefully this is in fact an indicator of a deal around the corner.

    I doubt it. He'd make nothing.

    Sweet.... I really didn't see him as a good fit on our roster since day 1. He's not a versatile fielder, except that he can field very poorly at multiple positions, and he is not a good enough hitter (especially for first). Plus he has no good platoon splits. I am surprised though, as I thought the Reds valued him differently then I did. I guess he was just a stop gap after Conine left.
