Not a surprise at all. I can stand Patterson playing some CF as long as doesn't bat any higher than 7th.

The happy days of Patterson being gone sure didn't last long.
I blame Bob Boone.

He's Baaaack.
I expect to see him, once again, making boatloads of outs at the top of the order.
Maybe he'll have learned a little seeing how well Hairston has hit up there.....we can hope right?
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

My hope is that Hairston is moved to center and Janish plays shortstop. CF Hairston/SS Janish is a better defensive combo than CF Patterson/SS Hairston. Plus the Hairston/Janish combo keeps Patterson out of the lineup (and away from the top of the order).
But I doubt that'll happen.

He better not play over Bruce. EVER.
I agree Cyclone, but I'd be quite surprised to see it happen.
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.
Fear leads to sadness..............
I would rather see Jim Edmunds brought in.
I JUST WROTE THAT! That just happened.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
6 for 17 in Louisville in 4 games at Louisville. Let's hope he learned how to hit while he was down there.
i looked at the AAA/AA rosters for position players who could be called up and found pretty much no one
agree that Janish at SS & Hairston in CF is best. IMO this is best for the Reds with a 'healthy' Jr.
This is a much better defensive alignment than Hairston at SS and Jr in RF.
Hairston could be a mirage but he is playing great and has patience in the leadoff spot.
