    Completely agree. Knowing the personalities and attitudes of the guys he'd be working with was one of the factors to Votto signing his mega extension. I can't imagine he'd like having to deal with Manny's antics day in and day out. He, nor the Reds need that.

    The only way I would want Manny was in a strictly pinch hitting role.

    Ludwick is finally producing like the way we thought he could. Heisey has filled in well for Stubbs. Why mess with a good thing going after Manny who at this stage in his carrer would be not much of an upgrade, a clubhouse cancer and a PR nightmare.

    I don't see how it would help ticket sales. No one cares about Manny anymore. We are in first place and have the best hitter in the game. If that can't sell tickets, Manny sure as hell isn't going too.

    Absolutely not, let's move on.
    (Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
    Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

    This is a simple, direct and (above all) correct answer.

    i'd rather take my chances with Vlad rather than Manny. even if he can't run anymore
    There are 3 guarantees in life; death, taxes, and the leadoff walk coming around to score.
