Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Doesn't SD need a CF? Think theres any chance we can throw them Patterson, one of our catchers, and a decent prospect for Bard or a lesser Patterson deal for Barrett?

Not if Dusty insists on Griffey in RF and Hairston at SS...

More of a point that the Reds pitching staff is doing fine, its the defense that is causing them to look bad.

Their defense is not so much better than the Reds as to brook 45 fewer runs allowed.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Look at it this way: the Reds lead the league in strikeouts. Yet they have the worst team defense. What more can the pitchers do to limit the effects of the defense and allow less runs? The only possible anwser is less home runs, which is mostly a symptom of their home park, and less walks, which haven't been too much of a problem considering their inexperience...

I believe they have the best fielding in the league while the Reds have the worst. It's got to be close to those 45 runs...

I don't think Cueto's HR problems have anything to do with GABP.

Better luck.

You're starting to identify bad luck with bad defense. The Reds defense is pretty below average, but it's not as bad as it's being made out to be.

The only positions the Reds and Cardinals are even close defensively is CF and 2B. Everywhere else the Cardinals have far superior fielders. I think it makes a much bigger impact than you want to admit.

But pretty much nowhere near 45 runs in 50 + games.

Without running the numbers, I would bet its close to at least 30 runs to this point in the season.

So, you think the Reds have been vitims of really poor luck so far?
