Rolen strikes out swinging
Rolen strikes out swinging
I don't think that description is consistent with an average fielding CF. That to me seems like a potentially quality or average fielding corner outfielder. There are plenty of guys that fit that description that aren't even great fielders in the corner.
As far as hitting goes, Heisey is still small sample size, has been matched up more by Baker, not exposed to regular playing time that a an extrapolation is not necessarily fair. Especially that Heisey might have been accumulating more WAR in LF than CF (not sure on that).
I think it goes to show that they might be reasonably close, and the overall production that each provides is arguable. I certainly don't see anything that suggests that Heisey is obviously better.
I don't think Dusty has much to do with it. Reds as a team have decided, until now, that Stubbs is the regular CF. Yes, Dusty could use Heisey a bit more, but the organization wants to give Stubbs every chance.
At this point, though, nobody would be surprised if the team found another guy for CF. I doubt they would give the regular every day job to Heisey.
Mesoraco strikes out swinging. Bailey staying in.
Mes has missed a couple of meatballs tonight.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Bailey singles to center.
Cozart flies out to left. 2-2 after 7.
Cozart with a Jay Bruce upper cut swing pops to short left field.
Kind of surprised they're staying with Bailey.
Bailey and Westbrook both at 90 pitches
Dusty used a bunch of relievers in the first two games of this series. ESPN guys keep saying that Baker was concerned about too much pen usage tonight.
Arredondo didn't go yesterday, he's certaily available. Middle of the Cards order in the eighth, so we'll see how long Homer lasts.
