All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
So let's see.
Reds now have six outfielders with Edmonds, Nix, Gomes, Stubbs, Heisey, Bruce.
They now have five infielders, only one backup, with Votto, Phillips, Janish, Rolen, Cairo.
Two catchers.
Reds have twelve pitchers with Bailey up. Wood still in the minor leagues.
Reds will need spots for Wood and OCabrera soon.
Right now Reds only have one reserve infielder and three reserve outfielders.
To state the obvious, the current alignment seems temporary.
Wonder if they'd have the guts to cut Edmonds if that's the best move...

The pitching glut could be solved by swapping Fisher for Wood and putting one of the current starters (Leake?) in the pen for awhile.
I don't know how they solve the position player logjam, but an outfielder will almost definitely have to go to make room for OCab.
Yeah. Heisey's the new backup IF.To get some protection, they've had outfielder Chris Heisey working out in the infield lately, especially at second base.
"I haven't taken groundballs in about a week but I'm going to go out there in a little bit and take some grounders," Heisey said Sunday morning. "It's in case of emergency. I've played shortstop my whole life and then in college, the second half of my junior year was spent at shortstop. I'm would not say I'm comfortable in the infield, but I don't feel like a stranger. I trust my hand-eye coordination and reflexes enough to at least knock the ball down and throw it across the infield."

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I had no idea Heisey could play infield.
That's incredibly useful if so.
You can also throw Razor in at 3rd for some help if needed..

Hmmm... Heisey as a 2b would be interesting....
If I were Ramon and they put me in at 3b, I'd definitely wear the shin guards and the chest protector..

I still don't want to see him playing 3b for the Reds.
