Feast or famine with Jose, who increased his game with diving over the plate and upped his HBP rate quite well too.

That said the Nationals are marketing him, not as the Latin Jimmy Piersell though.

The Reds were +9 last year, bad BA w/RISP, bad bullpen and all...

You don't think Bowden can find a way to get approval for some deal making? I gotta think he finds a way.

(don't get me wrong I'm not a huge Bowden fan but thought he made great move getting Griff to Cincy and I'd prefer him to DannyO anyway.)

He's got a little Roberto Clemente in him too (the arm, the use all fields hitting, the motor). And his voice sounds like Tony Montana from Scarface.

Even WITH the Nats (+9) and the Diamond Backs (+7), the average deviation is only +/-2.2 wins.

I'll take that...
