    LaRue seems OK to me to bat 2nd today. No one else in the lineup I would prefer batting 2nd. I'll put my stamp of approval on this lineup, for today anyway.

    If they're trying to win, they should have Aurillia in instead of Olmedo.

    But I guess the FO still thinks Olmedo might be able to be something. IMO, he's a marginal utility guy at best. I guess it's not that bad to give him an occasional start, but it's hard for me to justify "developing" him, because I think he won't amount to anything (other than a average glove guy that can't hit).
    [Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

    I can see that but I certainly wouldn't want his .317 OBP hitting 2nd.

    "Ray, congratulations! You're starting at 2b today. Oh by the way... Prior is starting for the Cubs. Go get 'em!"

    Looks like the Cubs made a little move today: Remlinger traded to the BoSox for Astacio.

    I still think the Reds will attain the .500 mark.

    50 games left. Reds have to go 31-19 to get to .500 .

    With those stats against Prior I don't have a problem with a little expierment of LaRue hitting 2nd in the lineup.

    Not unreasonable, the way they have been playing of late.

    Reds are going to get beat today. The big question:

    Can Adam Dunn hit 17 Homeruns in 50 remaining games?

    This has got to be the highest old Larue has hit in a game since his little league days.
