i give him a little more time

i have been concerned by his periphals too, as you can see in my prior comments on RR. I don't want to see him as the top setup man. I wish Bray were in Cincinnati, to handle the 7th inning work, with Burton in the 8th. But if he still sucks in 4 weeks I am all for DFA'ing his ass. I think it is a bad idea to DFA him based on 3 appearances.

Arrrg...

The good news: Cueto mania has hit the DR. They showed the game tonight on local Dominican television. Yes, that is right, fox sports Ohio was broadcast to my local corner store/bar.

The bad news: I left after the top of the 10th and when I arrive here it appears that Weathers has done something terribly wrong. What happened exactly?

Tanzen!

Adam Dunn needs to start playing like it's a contract year!

He's striking for fair wages.

Don't blame him, he's just a good union man.

Looked like

the Reds hit the ball hard: Phillip's pin ball out and 2 line drives straight at the left fielder, Dunn being robbed twice by baby Cecil, the one that Bill Hall snagged and threw from his knees. Nothing seemed to drop in (besides Dunn's bobble on the potential play at the plate during the first run).

I haven't checked but I imagine there was major bitching on the Hopper for Votto switch. That seemed like a waste.

Tanzen!

Yeah. Bad move there.

Lotsa bad mojo prior to that and after. (Corey Patteron excluded. We now heart him.) And then (IMO) another bad move to call on Weathers.

I'm pleased that he's done well

and I hope he continues to improve, but you can't judge a player based on so few at-bats.

As "well" he's done so far, his season OBP is still .286, which is unacceptable for a regular lead-off hitter. His slugging (.692!) has overshadowed (and perhaps made up for) his low on-base percentage. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's not going to continue slugging around .700 this season.

When his slugging drops, we'll all go back to hating him at the lead-off spot. But for now I'll give the guy his props and pray that he continues to have a flukey slugging year. Because I love this team and want them to kick ass.

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

I never hated Joe Randa either

I just wasn't ready to build the team around him.

It's important to remember that we've only finished 5% of the season so far. I'm not changing my opinion of a player based on such a small portion of the season.

That being said, I'm damn happy that he's hitting something because the rest of the offense ain't getting it done. Hopefully he'll still be going strong once the other guys come around.

WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!

My guess Dunn and Griffey will be free agents by then

or Griffey will be hurt.
