    Dunn -- LF
    EE -- 3B
    Votto -- 1B
    Bako -- C
    Pitcher

    and againt lefties --

    Same lineup except Ross catches and hits eighth.

    And sometimes against lefties Griffey should sit --

    Freel -- CF
    Janish -- SS
    Bruce -- CF
    Phillips -- 2b
    Dunn -- LF
    EE -- 3B
    Votto -- 1B
    Ross -- C

    With Bruce the Reds need to sign Dunn and add a righty power hitting outfielder (center or right) and a good catcher. And bring up the young arms as they develop. And then you have a team.
    I like the line-up and team better when Griffey sits. I agree that Flip Flopping Phillips and EE while Phillips is hot and EE is slumping is a good idea. Generally though, EE is better suited for cleaning up than Phillips. Phillips speed is of better use lower in the order where the bottom of the order guys won't likely be pitched around if he steals second and opens first base. Batting in the middle he doesn't need to steal to get in scoring position. At the bottom its necessary to have some one who can move themselves along the bases in front of the weaker hitters.
    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!

    Brandon Larson's number isn't on the wall, it's written in the third stall in section 218.
    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

    The second I saw this thread title I couldn't help but raise my arms in the arm. I hope this is the end of Patterson as a Red.

    This is the thread title I've been waiting to log on and see! There are a couple other moves still to go but this was the biggie.

    Good day today. No work, cookout, hit the pool, and Bruce gets the call.
    Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!

    I'm all for Patterson being let go if Dickerson, Cumberland or Strait is called up too. But Bruce needs to move Griffey aside.

    Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!

    I was out and I got a call from my dad. I'm stoked right now. I want to say that I hope it's one of the catchers and not Patterson, but I have no faith in Dusty using CPatt right.

    In any event, great news. Can't wait to see the kid play.

    Bruce is not being brought up to sit on the bench.

    He will start in CF. Tomorrow.

    The majority of us have been waiting for the thread title all year I'm sure. Man this is a heck of a way to wake up from a nap.

    Fay seems to think Patterson is going to get the boot.

    Jay Bruce will be promoted to the Reds tomorrow. The corresponding roster move will be announced then. That's all I've got for now. I've got calls out to Bruce and Walt Jocketty. My guess is move will involve Corey Patterson.

    Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!

    If he's in center, he's leading off. I have no problem with either.


    Bruce
    Phillips
    Dunn
    Eddie
    Votto
    Junior
    Bako
    Janish

    Keep it like that until Kepp gets back, or a trade happens, see what happens.

    I just see Hairston at the top of the lineup.

    Bruce
    Hairston
    Griffey
    Phillips
    Dunn
    Edwin
    Votto
    Catcher

    is what Dusty will do.

    Just as I thought. A lot of teeth-gnashing for nothing.
