The Front Row

Reds are awful and I'm not sure the exact % but they have to be near the bottom with runners in scoring position (RISP)........c'mon now Redlegs!

If the Indians could play KC every game I would be optimistic. However, they only play them 18-19 times.

The Indians stink. I would be embarrassed as General Manager of that team to say my starting evryday 3B is Jack Hannahan and my everyday LF is Shelly Duncan. That is a flat out joke.

Well 10 games in the Reds are looking a little lost on offense sometimes. But I'm not really worried aboutn the offense. They have had a good offense for years and for the most part it's the same guys. Votto and Phillips will put up their usual solid numbers.

Bruce appears to be laying off the breaking balls outside much better, and I think he will have his best season yet.

Cozart while I don't think he will continue to put up the monster stats he has 10 games in offensively, I do think he will be a better than .250 guy all year, and it's looking like it was easily the right choice to keep him up and send Janish to Louisville.

And the platoon in LF with Ludwick and Heisey appears to be doing OK. I don't think Ludwick's average is great right now but he has had some big time hits this year, including the GS yesterday.

One guy I wish the Reds would trade is Drew Stubbs. His inability to lay off the outside stuff is mind boggling. He is a great fielder, a fast player (who should steal much much more than he does), but a lousy bat.

He's got potential no question, but his K's add up real quick, and I don't think the Reds can give up precious AB's this year to a guy who will K over 200 times most likely.

They should trade him and maybe find a better player at 3B then Rolen.

But I feel like the pitching has been solid this year. No complaints from the pitching.

And I know the bats will come around. So while I certainly wish the record was better than 4-6 right now, I do think in October the Reds will be in the postseason.

I don't really follow Cleveland, but what's Fausto Carmona's real name?

I agree with this post. No team is going to win w/ Hannahan as a 3b, Kotchman as 1b and Duncan as the LF. The bench is awful as well...although I have some hope for Lopez, who had some pretty good years with Seattle and he's still got some years left.

The Indians have a chance to tease us again this year, but they have nowhere near the talent or depth necessary to sustain any type of run over a 6 month period.

I don't blame the Indians GM as his hands are tied w/ the limited salary. I will blame him for the Jimenez trade, though.
