AA looks plenty good at the major league level.
Good enough to start, much less take the spot of one of the bench guys.
But optioned back again?
Stupid.

beyond belief,, beyond comprehension and beyond sane into the realm of the malformed
not only is it insane on the intrinsic merits of his talent but when you consider the wasted at bats of the disgustingly untalented and anemic and woeful shogo, et al ithe only explanation is they are betting on the reds to lose
Having trouble imagining the people who traded Aroldis Chapman for Caleb Cotham and Rookie David could make a bad decision

yes maybe they can sign Hieki Irabu and Kaz Matsui and Masanori Murakami

here s a great bit of reasoning by someone "perhaps hes not that good" maybe not but not that good is light years and eons better than ervin van meter jankowski and payton to the third expoenential power
I just can’t buy it at this point. And I’ve seen him this season for myself now. He looked good at the plate last night. He had a couple timely hits in the couple games he was here earlier in the season.
The worst case scenario is that he is as bad as VanMeter or Ervin were, but he has literally already looked better than both of them by not immediately utterly embarrassing himself.
There are zero reasonable excuses to not have Aquino on the roster at this point.

Sure, this year in his 9 at-bats that we've been able to see, he's been good. The Reds have probably watched him have 250 at-bats this year, though. Just incredibly tough to imagine he's out there crushing it and this is how they've decided to play things.
Given the information I have available to me, I'd probably have had him on the roster a long time ago. But I'm not ready to destroy the front office over not having him up, either.

what do you think instead of bothering me what is your opinion besides exercising your extensive vocabulary of jabroni what do you think, sure I was wrong on winker at least I had an opinion what is your opinion besides saying were good again or were bad again!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was wrong on winker and right on colon, the bullpen,. vanmeter, ervin, jankowski, shogo payton etc
Let's talk this out with the assumption that Aristides Aquino has indeed been struggling at Prasco Park
Your argument is that the pitchers not good enough to be in the big leagues can get him out and make him look bad, but the pitchers better than that who are in the big leagues would perform worse against him and or he'd perform better against them?
The practice field is basically Double-A/Triple-A. Would you ever argue a guy in the minor leagues struggling should be called up because he once upon a time performed very well for 5 weeks in the Major Leagues?
Again, I want to be sure that I'm pointing out that I have no clue at all how Aquino has performed at Prasco. This is simply talking out the idea that teams shouldn't actually pay attention to what's happening at their alternate sites with regards to performance.
