Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
It would probably have to come at the expense of Castro, which could cause a problem becuase Keppinger doesn't play shortstop. Plus, it looks like Hopper has adapted well to the PH role.
He has always hit for a good average in the minors. I have been interetsed in him being on the big club since before his spring injury. Code:
2007 Season Team League AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS SAR FSL 0.333 3 12 1 4 2 0 0 1 6 0 0 0 1 0.308 0.5 0.808 LOU INT 0.404 13 52 9 21 4 0 0 2 25 4 4 1 1 0.439 0.481 0.919 Minors 0.391 16 64 10 25 6 0 0 3 31 4 4 1 2 0.414 0.484 0.899

Re: Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
yes, but unfortunately Castro is firmly entrenched.

Re: Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
I'd like to see the Keppinger-for-Castro change. Phillips can back up at SS.
Doubt we'll see it. I think a trade of EdE may be more likely -- yyyyeeccchhhhh.

Keppinger to be the 3rd baseman and a trade of EE? No thanks, hello George Arias!

Not unless he can pitch the 8th.

Re: Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
Prediction: Castro and Stanton will both be playing golf while collecting paychecks with Bob's signature next year.

Re: Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
I firmly believe that when Castro's playing days are done, he will be a coach in the Reds system. And I believe that he will be an asset in that capacity.

Re: Is it time to find room for Keppinger?
Good crystal ball there, Buck U. I guess it was just a little fuzzy on who would have to go, though.
 Looks like Keppinger has earned a shot.

I've been beating the Keppinger drum for a while now. I think people will be pleasantly surprised. He looks like a RH Hatteberg, although the team could use a RH bat with more power. I hope he gets the majority of the starts so we can all get a good look at him. That keeps Castro on the bench and Freel in the super-sub role. The Reds could do much worse...
