In that case Leake would bat 7th. He's a better hitter than any of the other pitchers. I don't much of anything about Hannahan. But he has to better than what the Reds had last year for a utility player.

Re: Reds sign Jack Hannahan
I can't wait to see Jack Hannahan hitting against Joel Hanrahan.

I am waiting for the throw from Hanigan to Hannahan. It would be great if they were doing a rundown and kept throwing between each other. |

I guess this means Cairo and Valdes won't be back.

I could see Jason Donald being let go or demoted for Rolen. He was a throw-in in the trade for Choo. I could see that. Hannahan was signed as a free agent, left handed hitter, better player than Donald. Some reports that it's a two year deal. Hannahan will be on the team, Rolen or no. Personally, I doubt Rolen will play, he may go to spring training but the guy has trouble staying healthy at this point. But in any event, Hannahan will be on the ballclub. |

Re: Reds sign Jack Hannahan
Donald is a fringe major leaguer. I saw him play live at a Clippers game last summer. He can play a lot of positions, but if I thought Rolen had anything in the tank, I certainly would think he'd outperform Donald.
