    True, but one would think after a while that he'd catch on to the usual song and dance of Leake and have a quicker hook.

    Leake not pitching bad....the Cubs ran into some balls. Should be 5-3...Heisey was totally responsible for run #4

    I think the Reds' centerfielder should have a .350 OBP, not .316. I think Joey Votto becomes a 125 RBI man with better tablesetters. I see CF on this team as a tablesetting position given the mix of players on this team.

    On a power starved team, Heisey probably is a good pickup, he has good power and other skills. For the Reds, I'd prefer a CFer who hits at the top of the order and gets on base more.
    I'm still not sure what you're getting at. OPS and wOBA both take into account both OBP and slugging. Sure, OBP carries slightly more weight than does slugging, but that's accounted for in wOBA and his career wOBA against RHP is .349. That's very, very good. The average CF in the majors is less than .330.

    Maybe Dr. Killdare made the call from the bench?

    I've posted the numbers before, but Leake's 75-pitch-plus splits relative to his own averages are actually above average.

    Nonsense.

    Clemente lifetime OBP .359.
    Griffey Sr. lifetime OBP .359.
    Berra lifetime OBP .348.
    Guerrero lifetime OBP .379.

    Even Concepcion, a shortstop known for great defense, .322.

    Chris Heisey's lifetime OBP is .316. His plate discipline is the reason. I want an entirely different type of hitter for the Reds' CF.
