"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
My guess is Zack is with this team tomorrow. He was out of the lineup today and I have got to believe they are frustrated with Renteria and he is sent packing.
Well you have to take into consideration that Janish plays better defense. My speech to Janish is you had the oppertunity to prove yourself as an every day SS and we feel its time to give way to Cozart. Use Janish as a defensive replacement either at SS or better yet 3rd.
If you release Renteria and Cozart doesn't work out?
I'd flip Janish and Cozart. If Cozart looks like he can handle the bigs, release Renteria and call up Janish for the back up glove.
Yeah, put me down for optioning Janish should Cozart get the call.
I just wouldn't release Edgar until we are sure he is the 3rd best SS in the organization. Considering I am of the belief that Edgar and Paul are practically of same value from this point on, I'd wait to ship someone out permanently, until I was SURE it was the right move.

I think Cozart will be up Friday and Renteria will be designated for assignment. Just like Fay says in his blog.
Dusty plays young guys plenty and he won't insist on Renteria. I don't believe they'll drop Janish.
I think Cozart will help but the key move would be a trade of some AAA talent for a left fielder.
