Happy Birthday Joey Votto!!

[HeatherC1212]

Maybe he'll get to hit his 20th HR of the year for his birthday today, LOL ;) :thumbup: I can't believe he's only 25 because there are times when I hear an interview with him that he is so poised he sounds just like a veteran. He's a great guy and I hope he stays a Red for a good long time. Congrats on a great season and happy birthday Joey! :jump:

I hope that is a joke. In 5 years he will be 30. That is 5 seasons. Last I looked that is a long time. 5 years is probably 1/3 of Votto's career. That could mean between 750-1000 hits, 350-500 RBI's, 100-150 HR, 5 chances at making the playoffs. Nevermind, he is 25 (getting close to being too old). Let's just trade him now before he reaches his full potential.
