    Problem is, you've got to find someone that wants him. Other teams don't want him for the same reasons we want to get rid of him.

    Because more is better.

    Harang trying to field Pattersons bunt comes back to haunt him.

    And Casey is slow and has the range of a turtle on crack.

    Well-executed sac bunt by Prior, setting up a 2-run double for Lawton.

    Have to hope some people around the league look at bat avg and not any other stats, the Mets come to mind.

    Yes, with that double his OPS shot over .800. I believe it is now .801. Considering the league average for first basemen is .847 I'd say below average fits nicely.

    Not to mention his high average in the third spot for the lions share of the year produced less than 40 rbi, and I'd say the high average and solid hitting did little. If Casey isn't going to hit HR's then he has to hit doubles - until recently he wasn't doing that and the singles just wasn't cutting it.

    Not to mention the 24 extra outs he cost on DP's - maybe we should factor that into batting average considering each double play cost the Reds an extra out.

    Do you guys agree with Lopez batting first and Freel 2nd, or would you switch them back?
