Winker to the IL, Barrero recalled

[CaiGuy]

Farmer's bat doesn't play in the corners. That's just settling for certain below average offense.

I'd rather see what Aquino could do.

[Griffey012]

Why should Farmer be in LF, he’s not a real hitter if you look at his lifetime numbers. The ONLY manager stupid enough to use him as a #3 hitter is David Shula, oops I mean David Bell. One month of good hitting over three seasons with a team doesn’t make Farmer an above average major leaguer. Sorry that’s just fact. I’ve heard he’s really funny on interviews, but that doesn’t win ballgames.

Kyle Farmer has helped the Reds win games this year.

Farmer has more PA's this season than he had in his career up until this year. It is quite possible Farmer is better than his sporadic early career AB's and also not as good as hit hot streak. I'd prefer Farmer's stick to Aquino (vs RHP), Naquin (vs LHP), and Akiyama's at this point.

Farmer has a .949 OPS in the 3 spot. Seems like Bell played that card right and has subsequently dropped him in the order with the return of Castellanos and Farmer cooling off.

@ctrent
Reds manager David Bell said he expects Jose Barrero to play shortstop, second base and third base. Barrero has played some third base in Louisville recently. He will be coming off the bench for the most part, Bell said.

Somebody ready the cannon.

I’m super excited to watch Suarez strike out another 20 times this week while our phenom infield prospect rots on the bench. This is gonna be great.

No sense in playing this ultra-talented top-15 prospect every day when we have *checks notes* … Kyle Farmer.

Perhaps the vote of confidence will inspire August Farmer to be more like July Farmer. One can only hope. Should have left him in AAA to continue to receive regular playing time.

Why does it always seem like if a Reds prospect succeeds at MLB level it is despite the Reds?

Or they could just bench Suarez and move Farmer over to third. This is so frustrating.

We also have to make sure the elite SS prospect and best SS prospect the reds have had since Barry Larkin comes up as a utility player instead of just putting him at SS for next 6 years. Very important to jerk him around the field.

[Coopdaddy67]

Farmer has crashed back to Earth the past 2 weeks. If they want to use Farmer regularly, do it in a super utility role.

Barrero should be starting at SS until he proves he doesn't belong there.

The did the same thing with lopez dude hits 500 called up to be on the bench

[reds44]

He’s not in the lineup today LOL

[Tom Servo]

Yeah this sucks. Continuing to play Suarez at this point is just self-abuse.

[RedTeamGo!]

This is the kind of thing that makes you realize we are following one of the worst ran organizations in professional sports.
