I never said it nosedived. I said it's 'down' to .711 because last time I looked, that wasn't very productive. The league split for ALL centerfielders this year is 729. So Stubbs isn't producing very well.
I don't care if it's nosedived or stayed almost static... .711 OPS isn't good enough from a centerfielder.

You could say the same about Gomes, but it hasn't stopped people from carrying on about needing to get him out of the lineup, has it?
By your logic, we can't criticize anyone on the team or anything about the team because they're in first place. Right?
You were criticizing Cueto yesterday in the first inning. Leake a few weeks ago. etc. etc. Does that nullify your argument since they were in first?

Votto needs to step it up in September. Pretty awful showing by him lately.
Carlos Gonzalez on the other hand... it'd be hard not to give the MVP to him if the Rockies make the playoffs.
Notice the wink at the end of the post. Also, check out last night's game thread. That should clear some things up.Who else you going to put in the outfield right now?

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Well I never said they shouldn't play. Right now, there's not even a choice. They pretty much have to play. I'm just pointing out they haven't been terribly productive recently (Stubbs for the year and Heisey especially the last month)... and that I prefer they be split up in the order.

A Vottomatic RBI
Reds are great again.
Didn't Rolen have 17 homers by late June? Would be nice if he got hot again.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
Rolen and Gomes both K.. Btm 1st 1-0.
