That would make my off-season. I think this guy could make a real difference.

He'd make a nice platoon partner for Gomes. He can leadoff those games, has a high OBP against RHP and a little speed. Hope it's true.

I think I just gagged in my mouth....
This would be a solid move. Lewis and Stubbs could hit 1-2 against RHP, and Phillips and Stubbs could hit 1-2 against LHP. I think this would be a great, inexpensive stopgap assuming Lewis would accept a platoon role.
I don't want any part of him being a Starter, bench yes... Guy can hit from the left side and has Doubles Pop and can swipe a bag, but personally I would rather Gomes and Heisey getting Left Field again over letting Lewis get starts but Dusty will Start Lewis because he will be like a Corey Patterson situation with Baker...
How is this guy better than what we currently have?
Career lefty/righty splits
Nothing amazing, but a solid addition for a 5th outfielder. He has the majority of his playing time at left field so I would imagine he would be platooned with Gomes. I don't think Lewis would take too much time away from Heisey since Heisey is the main backup for both Bruce and Stubbs and got about 77% of his playing time in CF and RF last season.Code:I Split PA AB H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS vs RHP as LHB 1216 1080 302 72 17 23 102 47 14 117 264 .280 .354 .442 .796 vs LHP as LHB 312 279 68 12 4 1 15 4 4 27 83 .244 .324 .326 .650
Great a guy closer to a .699 OPS than .799.
That's what we the Reds need, a weak hitting LF platoon player.
I hate to agree with brm7675, but give me Heisey over him 7 times a week.
