This is tantamount to getting killed by a gun, a knife, drowning or falling.
I thought this would be somewhat of an interesting poll to see what everyone thought about our nemises.

Do you mean, "who do you not want to face"? If so, I choose Billy Hall and/or Lance Berkman. Both of those guys destroy us.
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.
Against the Reds and which one do you want to face the most i.e. which one is less likely to beat the Reds.
I must be crazy because I chose Bill Hall, but he is by FAR the worst hitter listed...
Given those choices, Bill Hall is still the least dangerous in spite of his history of killing the Reds. He's simply not on the same level as Pujols, Berkman or Aramis.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Bill Hall without a doubt. Unlike the others you listed, Bill Hall will chase pitches out of the zone, especially a nice slider down and away. Unfortunately the Reds haven't realized this. The Reds of those guys are patient hitters who rarely chase bad pitches.
Hall
Ramirez
Pujols
Berkman
In that order...
did you go back and add a poll or did I completely miss it the first time I looked at this thread?
Anybody but Bill Hall.
I'd take Aramis. He's killed the reds, but doesn't have the same rep as a RED-killer. (and the lowest OPS of the 4, BTW).

All of them have the numbers that say that they could get the job done.
Aramis seems to have a lapse now and then, I would pitch to him and
Pujols. Just because it's more satisfying when he fails.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Would it be in the first inning? cuz that's typically when the game is on the line for this year's Reds
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
I'd pitch to Pujols.
And by pitch to Pujols, I really mean drill him with a fastball.
