    Watched tape of his swing last night and I was floored. Very compact and therefore is letting the ball travel far into the zone.

    I wouldn't be shocked if he turns into a legitimate 4/5 bat for years to come. Someone is coaching these guys well in Toronto, IMO.
    This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.

    Funny...that wasn't the case for the last Hamilton in the organization to get publicity.

    Edwin had 2 non-small sample size .900 plus OPS months in 2006. Ended up with an .831 OPS.

    Edwin had 2 .900 plus OPS months in 2007. Ended up with a .794 OPS.

    Edwin had 3 .900 plus OPS months in 2008. Ended up with an .807 OPS.

    Edwin had 2 .900 plus OPS months in 2009. Ended up with a .729 OPS.

    Edwin had 2 .900 plus OPS months in 2010. Ended up with a .787 OPS.

    Edwin had 2 .900 plus OPS months in 2011. Ended up with a .787 OPS.

    Odds are that this is more of the same, but we should probably just wait it out a bit before making any wide ranging proclamations on his success.

    Even though Edwin has had his ups and downs with the Jays his numbers are as good or better than Rolen's numbers since the trade.

    IIRC didn't the Jays at one point non-tender EE? Anybody who wanted him could have had him.

    They play him a lot at first base. He wouldn't able to do that here. I've watched him at third over the last three years, and I think he has regressed.

    Was talking about his offensive numbers.. And yes the Jays did put Edwin on waivers.. but his numbers are still as good or better than Rolen's.

    In a thread title listing seven former Red properties traded in the two big offseason deals, we've managed to come full circle back to an old Redszone polarizing favorite (EdE) from summer 2009. Surely Bender and Felipe Lopez will soon follow

    Oh, and that's to say that he would be doing the same thing in Cincy while playing the field and not DHing in the Skydome, where he is making all of the impact.
    Where did I say any of that? Literally all I pointed out were his numbers and then "you people" begin the anti-EE assault.

    Couldn't the same be said for his teammate who has hit a 110 home runs over the last two and a half seasons? Sometimes a zebra does change his offensive stripes.

    Jonny Gomes has an .896 OPS this season as he pounds RHP and struggles vs LHP. Also killing it as a DH.

    I am not saying EE has changed. I am saying that the excuse that anyone could have had him for free at some point in time doesn't tell us much of anything. I conveyed that poorly in my previous post.
