How does third base eventually play out for the Reds?

Edwin Encarnacion has been the Reds third baseman for a while now, and while his bat has been fine for the most part, his defense has really been detrimental to the team. He is at a point where his salary is starting to get serious and with a GM who loves defense at the helm [...]

Jeff Keppinger Could Be Back Soon, Hopper and Fogg Updates

Keppinger coming back could mean some bench time for Edwin Encarnacion if he continues his struggles at the plate. I don't really agree with that, but given Baker's baseball knowledge I wouldn't be surprised by it. Now if only Baker could figure out that Jeff Keppinger...

Now we find ourselves moving on to the second best collection of sluggers on the field. Less bulky than first basemen, these guys have been known to steal a base or two as well. As a matter of fact, the de facto #1 overall pick (A-Rod, or Gay-Rod, depending on your region) lives on...

Picimg_cincinnati_reds_v_8d0a
First off let me say that I have been one of your harshest critics. All of that came from a place of endearment.  You see, I really do like you Edwin.  I have become so use to you that I feel like you are 30 or 31. I ask you to forgive me for any hurtful words I may have...

Encarnacion tendered, Belisle, Majewski not

No real surprise on Edwin getting tendered a contract Walt seems to be high on the guy from the sound of interviews. Majewski sucks, but Belisle was a 50/50 thing in most peoples eyes. I think he can be a decent pitcher if he goes to the NL West. Maybe the Dodgers give him a look,...
