    Dickerson is here!!!

    Dickerson gets the call to replace Dunn.

    per Fay:

    Chris Dickerson was called up to take Adam Dunn's roster spot.
    Joey Votto is expected to return from bereavement Saturday.
    Jerry Hairston Jr. is testing his hamstring.

    Looks like we're offically comitting to the future. That should mean that we going to give him as much playing time as possible this year, to see if he's part of this club's future.

    Yeah, that Bob C and his WIN Now attitude of firing Krivisky really comes to mind now huh?

    Re: Dickerson is here!!!

    Anyone ever gotten a scout's opinion of Dickerson?

    There's a reason wasn't highly rated by Baseball America.

    If they were right about everyone (which they are far from being), they would have predicted that he would have been capable of having an OPS of 1.000 from the last week of May into the 2nd Week of August at Lousville. But, since they probably predicted it to be at least 200 points below that, their opinion about him goes with their wrong opinions of others...into the trash, and they can type up another one about someone else. Chalk this one up to one of many that they whiffed on.

    I'd say he's just a career minor leaguer whose highest potential is a 4th outfielder. He plays a great defensive CF and has speed, so he'll always find himself on a MLB bench, however, I not ready to crown him our starting CF for 2009 and beyond.

    No way could Chris Dickerson be a starting OF. He is nothing more than a pinch runner / defensive substituion.

    Honestly, if you were going to compare him to one major league player, it would be Patterson.

    That's OK, the Reds need to upgrade their bench too!

    I think you'll be gladly proven wrong over the next 14 months.

    I'd like to believe Dickerson's plate discipline is heads and shoulders above Patterson's...or else I wouldn't even want Dickerson on the 25 man roster.

    Re: Dickerson is here!!!

    Heck of a start. A Double, Walk, Stolen Base, and a Run scored, and pretty good defense.

    He should have replaced Patterson instead of Dunn

    Dickerson in En Fuego. Double and Single tonight.

    I'd really like to believe that something "clicked" this year and he can be a High OBP plus defense CFer we desperately need.

    I don't believe that quite yet, but it's a start!

    If you really want to get excited imagine the possibility of Stubbs in CF and Dickerson in RF. That would be some spectacular defense. However, they still have to hit.
