    Even if he was the on roster, you could make the argument that the same statement would still be true.

    Are you saying the offense is overachieving right now?

    You want to talk about having nightmares, Patterson leading off and Neifi hitting 2nd would be a nightly one.
    Wasn't Perez suspended for a second failed drug test last year? He may not be eligible to play.

    You can bet Dusty is suggesting it.:thumbdown

    Yeah, I'm not crying that Castro is gone.

    It's just odd that we are finally in the spot Castro was supposedly carried for.. We need an emergency SS.. Not that Castro was necessarily qualified for that job, but Wayne thought he was.

    In regards to the Gonzo discussion. It was a bad sign. He didn't have a good year last season. Sure, he hit a few HRs, but did little else. He was clearly on the decline and Wayne gave him a 3 year deal. I'm still confused why Patterson is almost unamiously viewed as a bad signing, yet people still defend the Gonzo signing which was a much worse risk and was for 3 years..

    I'm happier tonight that Castro was released than I was the day Castro was actually released. The last thing I'd want is Castro actually playing full-time for two months, and that's exactly what would be happening if he was still on the roster.

    I have a feeling we may see a harmful dose of Jerry Hairston, Jr. at shortstop soon, because I'm not confident that the Reds will play Janish regularly. Here's Hairston's time at shortstop during his professional career as a whole:

    MLB: 9 games (35.2 innings) before tonight
    AAA: 33 games
    AA: 1 game
    High-A: 65 games
    Low-A: 0 games
    Rookie Ball: 58 games

    That's 166 games of shortstop in his professional career. And the worst thing is 123 of those games were in 1997 and 1998.
    The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
    2014-22 Average Season: 71-91

    Re: Keppinger fractures knee

    Since the 1998 draft with Kearns and Dunn, the Reds have had a pretty tough time of squeezing out major league talent from their drafts. With the call up of Janish, they now have had three make it within the last year. Votto (2002 class), Bailey (2004), and Janish (2004). Cueto makes it four, if you include L.A. signings.

    Between those four and Kearns/Dunn, the Reds developed Coffey ('98), Broussard and Salmon (both '99), and Denorfia ('02).

    Next up: Bruce ('05),

    Maybe: Dickerson ('03), and Strait and Tatum (both '04)?

    Hairston looked brutal at SS against the Astros a couple weeks back. A normal routine groundball went into CF as he lacked any range at all to make the play. Please call up Janish and insert him in as everyday shortstop and bat him eighth.

    Hairston is NOT a SS.

    Janish better play everyday.

    I too am glad Castro is gone. Janish would have never been called up.

    Sorry, I was making an attempt at sarcasm. Everybody is always talking about how So-and-so will "regress to the mean" whenever players are playing well, but nobody ever mentions the mean when players play horribly.

    Gonzo had a huge excuse for last year.. his son was in and out of the hospital most of the season.. Any father would have a hard time playing baseball or working at a regular job and not have their son on their mind all the time..
