    Take victory laps where you can get them, even if it's from HRs off of great MLB relievers like Nabil Crismatt and Ross Detwiler.

    I like how the Reds are using Aquino of late, thought Bell used him really well today with the HR just being the capper.

    he would have performed better if given consistent playing time it was worth the gamble given the offensive ineptitude

    Personally, I think the whole "sent down to work on things" business is just a story. The Reds kept lesser players based on secondary criteria, like experience at a certain position, what hand they hit with, whether they can steal bases and whether or not they had options. Keep your best guys and find a way to get them on the field.

    The Reds have outsmarted themselves frequently this year. I think how they've handled Aquino is one of those times.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    They have DFA guys who had chances Aquino did not have. He's starting to hit and needs to see plate appearances.

    Not even close to being accurate.

    Aquino - .749 OPS

    Jankowski - .243 OPS
    Ervin - .324 OPS
    VanMeter - .334 OPS
    Colon - .341 OPS

    I am still fine with Ervin and JVM getting their opportunities. But in what world did Jankowski ever make sense?

    Maybe in the 1980s AstroTurf world? Maybe?

    Re: aquino

    We can't compare VanMeter to Aquino.
    VanMeter was here to be a back up infielder, the reason he got playing time was because Moose missed so many games early in the year. Aquino wasn't going to play infield.

    Jankowski had just 15 ABs. Ervin had 35 ABs but he was the LHH off the bench.

    It was Davidson who was in the role Aquino has now.
    Davidson had 43 ABs, Aquino has had 35 if ya wanna throw a fit over Davidsons 43 ABs a difference of 8 ABs knock yourself out.

    I Like Aquino

    Realized today that is you crossed Foster and Davis’ plate approach and swing.....you end up with Aquino.

    Ervin was LHH off bench? I thought he hit Right Handed...did I misread this?

    Going back to the off-season, Reds didn’t see a major role for Aquino. With Senzel and Winker already set for starting time, they signed Castellanos and Akiyama. If they viewed Aquino as a serious candidate for major playing time, they would have saved some money.

    Reds probably did use secondary criteria in filling out the roster. But in terms of the primary outfield spots, they clearly didn’t think Aquino was ready. They wanted to work with him more and eventually moved him into Ervin’s platoon role.

    They probably did use secondary criteria in filling out the roster. But in terms of the primary outfield spots, they didn’t think Aquino could handle it and did want to work with him more at Prasco. And eventually decided he could handle a platoon spot, which he now has.
    Let’s be clear, they decided he deserved his sorta platoon role only after they tried every other carbon based person in their system in that role and they all failed miserably.
