At Stephenson’s age, Bench had averaged catching around 141 games per season.

My Guess, Garcia back there with Spanish speaking Vlad and Stephenson will be back there for Greene's debut. I agree that Stephenson should be the DH. I think they wanted to give Fraley consecutive starts after a decent game yesterday. Otherwise Pham in LF and Stephenson at DH.
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!

I’d bench Naquin and let Stephenson DH if he needed a day off behind the plate.

I’m just really not sure why you need a day off 2 games into the season...particularly with an off day on Monday.

I don't think Stephenson will DH unless there is a lefty pitcher.
I posted this in the bullpen thread,
thought it was interesting so posting it here as well

Awesome nugget from RedsPR @EliasSports:
RHP Daniel Duarte (6th inn.) & RHP Alexis Diaz (7th) each made his MLB debut w/a scoreless inn. & 2K.
First time since 1900 that 2 Reds pitchers made their debuts in the same game w/scoreless outings.
Bullpen was strong last night
I don’t entirely disagree, my my bet is that Naquin will start against pretty much all RHP
*edit: Naquin posted an .853 OPS vs. RHP last year.
Curious to see Vlad tonight.
I was tough on him last year - unsustainable as a starter on a contending team if that’s as good as he gets. But give a young guy an off-season and you never know what he can improve on. Hope he proves the naysayers wrong.

I'm a naysayer and I completely want to be wrong.

So who out of the bullpen hasn't pitched yet? Hendrix, Strickland, Warren?
I don’t think it’s a matter of Stephenson being weak or soft or whatever. I think Bell is probably is just trying get García into a game, especially with how hot he was in the spring. Stephenson should prob be DH’ng, but it’s entirely possible Stephenson plays the next 100 games in a row between DH, C, and 1B.
Also, who knows, maybe Stephenson caught that stomach bug that’s going around he woke up this morning and ran to the toilet.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Reading my mind. Guys like you and I who grew up in the late sixties and seventies were so blessed to be able to watch baseball back then. Btw, the only times I ever remember Bill Plummer playing in place of John was maybe the second game of a doubleheader(nine-inning DH's).
