Quite the opposite...I like him pitching out of the bullpen this year in the swingman role and then competing for a spot in the rotation next spring.

Get him seasoned out of the pen, then turn him loose next year.

As an individual so named, you can go ahead and ...well, you get the idea.

Crazy :notworthy

LaRue has really turned it around this season. Hope he keeps it up.

Yet many say this team is devoid of talent.

It's the pitching.

The one guy with an OPS under .800 is the guy batting third in the lineup.

Even more impressive when you consider there's only 20-25 guys in the NL with a .900+ OPS and we have 3 of them in our everyday lineup.

The fact no one in the Reds organization is smart enough to let them hit in the middle of the order is equally impressive, just in a whole other way.

You just know that the guy who cut Jordan from the 8th grade basketball team is a consultant to this franchise at some level...he just has to be.
