But if we send him down, we get Ludwick full time. I'd rather take my chances with Chris over Ryan.

I don't want to suffer through him making outs in the line-up while he's trying. Let Costanzo and Frazier play. In the meantime, this team is on day 3 of 20 in a row. They are going to need another arm.

My trade proposal posted earlier still stands. We could even throw in the kitchen sink, right

Don't get me wrong. I think we need an upgrade too.

And Valdez does another 'ole. Good lord.

I STILL don't know what Valdez gives us that Janish wouldn't have.

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals

Valdez has been an absolute butcher at SS today. Never seen him play before but I'd image he's much better than he's shown.

Why not Frazier in LF and Costanzo and Cairo at 3B?

Well, I've already said why. I don't think Frazier is a good outfielder and I don't think Costanzo is a good 3b defender.

K to end the inning.
