because dietrich is a retread and did not play every day and is given much more leeway by this forum he did not win player of the month , he is a stiff at best , he does excel at hit by pitches

because he batted .187!!!!!!!!!!!! around the average of brad gulden, jerry zimmerman and hank foiles
He's a retread that has multiple seasons hitting above league average. In fact, he's had 2 seasons similar to Aquino's 2019 when you look at wRC+ and/or OPS+.
As far as having more leeway, it's all relative. You can question the offseason moves but, the bottom line is, the OF depth on this team is insane while the IF is a touch thin.
A voted upon award has very little relevance to me considering Dietrich was statistically better in May.
If you can't see that Dietrich is more than a cheerleader who can lean into pitches, then there is no chance of us finding middle ground.

wow you can spin .187 amazing perhaps you can tell us that the reds won the world series last year
.187. you should have worked for alf landon or george mcgovern

.187 you win he is clearly a superior player,, thats right .187 I am quite logical a radiologist who graduated phi beta kappa from cornell and phi beta kappa from med school, yet I concede to the superior wisdom of someone who defends a .187 batter 13 points below the mendoza line,, why dont you form an all one hundred hitting infield, of kelly paris, neil fiala and terry lee
Unless they put a limit on pitchers. It will be 13 hitters and 16 pitchers. Extra three will all be pitchers.

Probably gonna have keep a third catcher, if they schedule DH’s Barnsali will wear out quick.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
So by the time we start they should all be healthy. Heres my guess at 29
Castillo
Bauer
Gray
Disco
Miley
Iggy
Lorenzen
Garrett
Strop
Stephenson
Reed
Sims
Jones
Suarez
Galvis
Moose
Votto
Winker
Senzel
Castellanos
Barnhart
Casali
Shogo
Ervin
Farmer
Dietrich
Mahle
Raley
Blandino
Raley because they need another left hand option and Reed could be shakey. Blandino because they need another SS to free up Farmer as a pinch hitter. Tough call to leave JVM out. I could easily see JVM instead of Blandino. Mahle because they really do need 6 starters to handle the double headers.
yes OPS is out patient surgery
