    Home	18	76	63	14	23	3	0	6	12	13	8	.365	.474	.698	1.172	.347	204	204
    Away	17	68	59	6	5	2	0	0	0	9	15	.085	.206	.119	.325	.114	-12	-6
    So at home he is Bonds circa 2003, on the road Aaron Harang.
    Easy solution, bat him third at home, make him a starting pitcher on the road.

    Good news is, he should rake over the next 9 games.

    I am so glad he got rid of that crotched down batting stance and returned his hands high and more up right. He looks way more fluid and driving the ball. Hope he NEVER goes back to that ridiculous stance. He needs to stay with this stance the rest of his career

    If this team makes the playoffs and has a chance once they get there, Votto needs to hit well. Hopefully tonight's 3-4 will get him rolling.

    Everyone needs to hit better, but Votto is this team's leader, and I'm convinced the offense will be better if he's hitting like his old self.

    He is hitting like his old self (or even better) at home. If he can bring his away form up a few notches than bam. But man, his record at home this season is incredible. OPS at 1.158 right now! In 2010, it was 1.024 overall. If he carries the Reds at home games, then someone else can step up at the away games.

    The leadoff experiment? Bad. Joey's crouch, overthinking phase? Bad. #3, just rake.....really good.

    After close to 400 posts, is there a consensus on what they should do with Votto?

    I've decided that they should encourage Votto to continue hitting the baseball hard.

    Re: What to do w Joey Votto

    i wonder if the front office would ask Votto to restructure his contract so it defers out to 8 years, instead of $82 million for the next 4 years, they see if Votto would defer and take 10 million for the next 8 years and give him the remaining 2 million at the end of that 10 years? They have to pay him 82 million no matter what. Maybe this helps the Reds go get more pieces, A Shortstop and Maybe Bauer or his replacement for 2021..

    $82 million over 10 years is not worth nearly as much as $82 million over 4 years. Future dollars are always worth less than present dollars.

    I believe the Reds team would be improve by cutting him. Maybe another team would pick him up and pay some of what he is owed.

    They wouldn't have to, they'd get him for the minimum

    The Reds would pay everything owed

    They wouldn't have to restructure it like that but Redsfan has a good point. The budget is the biggest problem and the uncertainty of any attendance in 2021 doesn't help.

    If they could move $5M-$10M from what Votto will be paid in 2021 to down the road it would make it easier to make the kind of moves that the Reds need to make to compete in 2021.

    As things stand right now Votto will be paid $25M in each of the next 3 years with a $20M club option for 2024 that has a $7M buyout.

    2021 $25M
    2022 $25M
    2023 $25M
    2024 $20M option with $7M buyout.

    Would he consider something like this:

    2021 $20M
    2022 $22M
    2023 $25M
    2024 $20M option with $15M buyout.

    Every little bit of extra room in the budget helps. I wonder if they've asked him about the possibility.

    These are things you negotiate beforehand, Bronson and Griffey took huge deferrals. I doubt very seriously they'll ever be in a desperate enough spot to propose this to Joey. Any salary clawback attempts will come from MLB itself, and won't target individual stars.
