Sure as long was he quits making errors at 1B. His dWAR is already -0.5
Re: What to do w Joey Votto
First, I'll take a 109 RC+.
Second, this is what we signed up for. When you pay your star player, you do so knowing that the back-end of the deal is going to be painful.

Yea, he needs to clean that up. Otherwise he's bound to hit a little better, still has an elite eye for the strike zone, and gets on base. He doesn't have to carry the team anymore, just set the table.

And have him clog the bases?!?
Re: What to do w Joey Votto
He's going to get paid no matter what right?
Where should he go?
Who should replace him?
I mean... 32 years, you must know the answer right?
Re: What to do w Joey Votto
it's sad watching a great player lose it. he's not even close to the same guy who was elite at his craft.

He’d be dfa. So who cares where he went? Lol
Reds must be the first team in the history of sports to have to replace a bad player I guess

They probably would be the first team to DFA a HOF player with a .370 OB% after 80 plate appearances in a season whilst eating 80 million bucks

I'd say getting on base at a .370 clip is doing something really well.
