What I would do to get a beat writer who had a pulse on these things
C.Trent just tweeted that he was looking into this situation so hopefully he finds out something soon. I came right over here hoping the rumor was true but I guess we still don't know for sure. I'd love for this rumor to be right!
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
i read here yesterday that Stubbs & Frazier were called up then nothing was mentioned during the game last night & there is no mention of it on the Reds official site. what gives?
.
This would be a reason to actually watch a Reds game.
"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"
Players on the 40 man roster are "recalled," if they're not on the 40 man, then their contract is purchased from the minor league club. Here's a bit from Rob Neyer's explanations:
http://assets.espn.go.com/mlb/s/tran...onsprimer.htmlWhen a player is summoned from the minors to the majors, you'll see that he was either "called up" or his "contract was purchased." For most practical purposes, this really doesn't make much difference. If he's already on the 40-man roster, he's called up. If he's not on the 40-man roster, then his contract is purchased (for a nominal fee) from the minor-league team.

Actually, it would have been fun if he had been called up yesterday and faced Lincecum and we could have answered the daggone question once and for all!

What would be the point in platooning him? Its not like he has some massive splits or something. Hes actually been better against righties.
