What AA did last year was not good it was great.
He’s fun to watch. So much so my sons and I tuned in especially to watch him play in a year that was otherwise forgettable. Sometimes (and I hate admit it but it’s true) we would mostly just watch his at bats. This is coming from a 40-year Reds fan who watches every game.
It’s been very limited but he’s shown more discipline at the plate.
The Reds brass is so low on him that they almost lost him couple years back. And they continue to screw him around this year too. I’m almost convinced it’s just a personal thing between AA and somebody.
Maybe if he played every day he would end up sucking. But he has not shown it at the MLB level. I don’t know what his splits are but good big league hitters play every day.
My lineup would feature AA until he proved he could NOT hit or play defense. Not the other way around.
