Why isn't Valentin catching for Ramirez tonight?
I have looked around the board and I haven't seen anywhere why Valentin isn't catching Ramirez tonight. Is he hurt, on his way out, or something else? I doubt he is getting he getting a night off becuase it doesn't make sense because he doesn't play other than when he catches Ramirez or pinch-hits.

Because he rots batting vs LH's.

Re: Why isn't Valentin catching for Ramirez tonight?
Any chance Valentine is being sat to give LaRue more playing time to bolster any trade value he might have? I know that is Machavellian but I am convinced one of the catchers (IMO LaRue) will be packaged in a deal for bullpen help.

Re: Why isn't Valentin catching for Ramirez tonight?
Nah the post about how Valentin rots vs LHP is Right on the money, and is WHY he didnt catch for Rameriz today.
And chances are now that Rameriz showed he dont need Valentin, chances are he may not catch again for the Reds when Mercker comes off the DL tomorrow.
