October 24, 2009 by
Redleg Nation
| Comments
As many of you know, Barry Larkin is eligible for election to the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time. Larkin is clearly a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but I get the distinct impression that the baseball writers will screw this one up, as they usually do.

The Reds new pitching coach: Bryan Price. C. Trent has some quotes from Price here.
Price isn’t the guy I wanted, but he’s a pretty good choice nonetheless. Looks to be a clear upgrade over Dick Pole.

Okay, admittedly I got carried away with the headline. David Weathers is no longer a Red, and he certainly had some good moments for our favorite team, so I guess I can start typing his full name out again.

How in the world, you may ask yourself, did Brandon Phillips get over 600 PA in the number 3 and 4 spots in the Reds lineup and still fall 2 RBI short of the 100 mark? For crying out loud, over 500 of those PA were in the number 4 spot batting behind most often Joey Votto who put up...
