I understand. Regardless... for 6 weeks the Reds have operated, essentially, with a 3 man staff+the bullpen. Abbott, Ashcraft, and Williamson have been fantastic... if Greene can be solid, huge boost. Lots of season left STILL. I also think the Reds survived on fumes for a while and relied too heavily on comeback wins. But, yes, the plate has undoubtedly been the issue for weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mightily disagree here. I think there is plenty of value in someone that can play 1B, 2B, 3B, and LF. I was pretty frustrated with Elly getting thrown out at 2nd while tagging up last night, for sure. Edited August 16, 2023 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good fielder, doesn't make him weak. There's a massive difference, he isn't a weakness, he just isn't a plus. McClain, Elly ++ defenders. CES might be the only "weak" defender. Edited August 16, 2023 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, CES best spot is 1B too, but he can't play 2B or LF, and isn't as good at 3B as Steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk.. I like what they've got defensively. Maybe Marte plays third? McClain 2B, EDLC SS... CES 1B? idk. They have options, solid options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up. I got my confirmation email on my tickets for Sunday on July 13. That was the Thursday during the All-Star break.  I guess it truly is my fault.
