great stuff Jax -- thanks -- glad you got to see a little offense out of the Reds guys.
Thx Jax - great reports. Negron isn't our answer at SS, but he could prove useful to have as depth in case of MI injuries over the next year or two.
Right. What may end up elevating him above Valaika as a bench guy is his defense and his speed. The more he hits, the quicker he'll become viable major league depth.Thx Jax - great reports.

[QUOTE=mace;2292595]Just stumbled over this little item about Ben Jukich mowing 'em down in the Venezuelan League.
Too bad he won't be with Louisville or Cincy next year.
Negron with a three run homer on Friday (his only hit in 4 AB). Its only 33 AB, but Negron with .273/.368/.545/.915 and has been the most impressive Red so far. Meanwhile, the Reds as a whole continue to struggle. Mesoraco 0 for 3 with a couple Ks has cooled after a fast start. Valiquette continues to get knocked around. 2 Hits, 2 BB 1 HR allowed with 4 ER in an inning of work. Valiquette with 11 Runs allowed (8 earned) in 6 IP so far in the AFL.
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!
Keith Law said in his chat this week that Mes is struggling badly behind the plate.
Went to Reds game today. Bryce Harper played. Hit first pitch he saw over the bullpen and on top of a party deck in RF. Later doubled off the wall. All in all 3-5. Has nice arm also. Time to come home.
