Seeing the lineup without Junior makes me glad he might be around next year. Without him there's no protection for anyone in the lineup. I can't believe I'm saying this but I have to give props to O'Brian for not trading him.

Screw Aurilia! Put Javy Valentin or LaRue at 1B and move Freel to 2B. I wanna see Valentin's .900 OPS in the lineup! Besides, with that IF, it would be fun seeing him try to catch all the wild throws.

Valentin hasn't hit lefties all year. He has only, admittedly, 28 at bats right-handed, compared to 138 left handed, and here are his numbers:

Code:

---

vs. Left  .143 .351 .357 .708
vs. Right  .317 .382 .597 .979

I know Rich A. is not popular on this site lets give him a break. He has a good year just as good if not better than Ryan Freel. Why is Ryan Freel so popular I will give him for his hustle and his OBP but is always hurt he has a horrible throwing arm. He makes a lot of bad decisons and is horrible clutch hitter. After pitching finding a true starting sencond basemen should be the Reds top goal this off season.

Before Lopez's emergence, Ryan was the only guy on this club who was within a Palmer-to-Johnson distance of being a threat on the basepaths

Clark with a HR, 1-0 Brewers.

Clark homers to lead off the game, 1-0 Brewers

Brady Clark homers off Milton on a 1-1 pitch.

I must say, I'm flabbergasted.

Looks like I'm a little late to the party. :laugh:

What's the Miltom meter now? 42?

Hardy grounds out. 1 out.

Hardy grounds to Encarnacion, 1 out
