Farmer may have turned back into a pumpkin.
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!
Overton might wind up as the Reds all-star Rep. Stranger things have happened. Nice feel good story if he can keep it up. Long shot to do it but not impossible for him to make 30 starts with a E.R.A. around 4.00
If Ty Steve can catch a break on health - he should be this team’s all-star rep.

Also, Not sure why anyone would rush Ty Steve out from behind the dish - really good arm back there.
Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
But if he continues to hit like we all think he will. The wear and tear of catching. I think they said he has already had 3 concussions. No doubt he should be moved the minute Votto leaves. It would be great to have him putting up big numbers at catcher. But I'd rather he be healthy playing 150 games a season at 1b vs. 120 at catcher.
I wouldn't be against him catching a couple games a week then playing 1b the rest.

Games doubles in a run. 2-1 Reds
Not a surprise but Aquino cleared waivers and was sent to Louisville
He would be better off having the Reds sell him to Japan. He could hit 40 a year there. I am half way surprised some team didn't claim him. Figured some hitting coach out there might be able to do some tweaking with him and make him serviceable. Power is sought after and he has loads when he gets lucky and connects.

Reynolds just barely missed that one...
On a sidenote... My, how good was Glen Campbell !
I am also blaming the Castellinis for the weather.
I'd be fine keeping Farmer on a reasonable deal as Barrero. McLain insurance and as a bench piece. He's getting the Garrett treatment this year. Being overexposed in a role he doesn't have the talent for. Use him against LHP and as an insuracen policy for multiple positions, Trading him isn't going to bring anything back and they'll need a guy just like him next year anyway. It will likely cost more to replace him than any value they get for him. JUst accept that he is what he is, pay him for it and be glad they have a decent fundamentally sound vet on the bench to ease the transition.
The problem on this team isn't that the players are so awful that they can't fill roles on a decent team. The problem is they can't really fill the roles they are filling.
