The Reds struggles against left handed starters
2-6 .250 W/L % versus left handed starting pitching on the season. There isn't any right handed power threats in this line-up, nor on the bench really, to speak of. This is an issue that will have to be addressed if the Reds are to remain competitive on the season. Are there any right handers with pop out there that may become available?

Re: The Reds struggles against left handed starters
Just Role Players that I can see right now.
Marcus Thames and Reggie Sanders have been discussed. I posted a thread in favor of Robb Quinlan yesterday. The problem is finding a place for one to play. It needs to come from EE.

Re: The Reds struggles against left handed starters
Craig Wilson would be a nice asset to have on hand right now. Of course he is off to a slow start too though.

Re: The Reds struggles against left handed starters
I dont think Eduardo Perez has been picked up by anyone either. At the very least offer him a minor league contract.

Re: The Reds struggles against left handed starters
Craig Wilson is a good observation. He has proven he can hit at the major league level, but has never been given a chance to be an everyday player. He could be an upgrade at first base for the Reds and would probably not be too ultra expensive either (especially after his slow start).
Wilson has a career OPS of .830 compared to Hatteberg's .767 and Conine hasn't had an .800+ OPS since 2001. |
