I honestly think the Reds have ruined Aquino with all the tinkering with him. He needs to be aggressive, focus on his power, and not worry about strikeouts, walks or his OBP. He can be solid .750 OPS, low OBP high slugging guy for awhile, ala Joey Gallo

Nope... League started figuring him out last Sept. By the end of the year, word spread throughout all of baseball. Was a disaster in Winter ball before the Reds even saw him again. Was a disaster in Spring training. That when the Reds started trying to fix him.
They say when they figure you out, you have to adjust back. He hasn't been able to do it. If he can survive the roster cuts, he has all year to work on it in AAA. But right now he looks to be one of the greatest asterisks in baseball history.

At least the Reds won't have to see Luis Arraez until the World Series
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
