IF Votto goes on DL. . .
. . and that's a big if, where do the Reds go? Rosales and Hernandez have proven they can both play 1st base so they do have some options. Barker? Dorn? They could also call up the likes of Gomes and move Hairston to 3rd base if Rosales plays 1st. No hitter, except Stubbs, has played well enough to grant them an opportunity to be called up.
What would they do IF this happens? Last edited by DTCromer; 05-17-2009 at 03:49 PM. |

Rosales at 1B, Hairston at 3B and bring someone up to play some outfield, Gomes perhaps.

Re: IF Votto goes on DL. . .
Yonder is ready
 .EDIT: In all seriousness though, would Yonder be an option that would be considered if Votto got on the DL?

(What should happen) McDonald DFA, Gomes promoted. Votto to DL, Sutton promoted. Play Rosales at 1B, Sutton at 3B. When Hanigan catches, Hernandez at 1B and Rosales at 3B.

Re: IF Votto goes on DL. . .
Yonder could probably translate decently to the show. I would expect him to be better than McDonald haha

1) He stinks and loses confidence, a la Bailey- possibly setting him back and even reducing his potential trade value. 2) He does reasonably well, but gets sent back to AA upon Votto's return, possibly alienating Alonso. 3) He does well, and you alienate Votto by moving him to LF in the middle of a season where he is unquestionably your best player. Which one of these three options are you gunning for?

Re: IF Votto goes on DL. . .
Plus Alonso will not be here anytime soon. No reason to put our best 1b in unfamiliar territory. Yes, he has played there(LF) but not frequently. He may get some games there at some point, I don't think he wants to and I don't think they should force that move.
