I would take Paul Hoseholder. Duane Walker and Cesar Cedeno.

This. He looks a bit AAAA to me, but the only way to find out is play him. And he has been hot through spring and the beginning of AAA, so there isn't any excuse. There is plenty of data on Benson at this point, so they need to learn who Hinds really is.Quote:

The Reds aren’t required to be guided by Marte’s short term successes. They are allowed to look at the whole picture. He didn’t hit down the stretch last season. He hasn’t hit a lick this season. He swings at 47% of pitches out of the strike zone. He apparently didn’t endear himself during ST (I’ve read).
That’a enough. Like it or not.
In the end, it’s up to the player to perform. He has a chance to get back on track at AAA. If he does, I’m sure he’ll be back.
We don't throw out the abnormally low BABIPs, just high ones. :laugh:Quote:

With Hinds here I'd call up Bleday and send down Myers.
CJ Abrams is too much of a prospect cost for too much risk. JJ Abrams however has had a number of big hits over the year, plays with flare, could add veteran direction in the locker room, and give the Reds a New Hope.Quote:

JJ is 2 for his last 10 and 8 for his last 30. Not quite as hot as Hinds. But yea, I might call him up for Benson as well.Quote:

In limited time Myers is hitting .300 with a .333 OBP. Thats like an all star on this squad. He’s nothing spectacular, but he also plays good defense. If Bleday gets called up, I’d assume Benson would get sent down. His numbers this year and the last two years would warrant that, IMO.Quote:

Reds minor leaguer suffers injury, pitching depth takes another hit
Continue Reading HereQuote:
The Cincinnati Reds have one of the deepest pitching staffs in all of baseball this year, but that depth has been tested early.
On Tuesday, Reds reporter Charlie Goldsmith reported that the Reds opted to place prospect pitcher Julian Aguiar on the 7-day injured list at the Triple-A level.
Aguiar is seen as one of the next men up for the Reds if they suffer more injuries at the big league level.
This year, Aguiar has struggled tremendously through 10 2/3 innings and three starts. He's surrendered 12 hits, 11 earned runs, and four home runs while walking eight hitters in his first professional action since undergoing Tommy John surgery.

It's like watching the 70s Reds on astro-turf. I am an anxious person, have a hard time relaxing, sitting down, and especially sleeping at night. Watching the Reds has solved that problem. :p
