Reds helping the Fish ....

[flyer85]

tonight.

Cody Ross hits a 3 run HR off of Dave Williams

[Tom Servo]

I'd say keeping McCracken over Ross when we needed to make room on the roster isn't looking so good.

[westofyou]

Ross has a juicy line ---- .208/.283/.377/.660

That's good enough to be the Redszone Pinata for quite some time.

I'd take 8 dingers and great D off the bench over what the Reds have gotten from McCracken, Hollandsworth, and every other member of the Reds' bench rogue's gallery.

Oh please.

The guy's a bench player; in my world, a guy with a little bit of pop who plays a variety of positions is a very valuable 25th guy.

He's having Reggie Taylor's 2003 season, and whenever he has a hit there's a post about him, if he was on the Reds he'd be dog meat.

That's how I see it.

Reggie Taylor's 2003 was pretty good for a bench player. Just because others wouldn't appreciate him, doesn't mean he hasn't been better than Hopper, Denorfia, Hollandsworth, McCracken, Wise, Castro.

I was thinking of Taylor's 2002 season. Still, each player in his own place. Everyone liked to pick on Reggie, but guys like him have their uses. There's not a player on the Reds' bench worth a damn, excepting Valentin.

It's a 25th man, true. But every move counts.

*I thought Walton 1995 was a true platoon, not a 25th man.

Mostly spot starts, injury fill ins.

Small sample. Don't really have a true opinion either way.

So I guess all the bench guys (besides Javi) aren't crap then are they?
