How does he fit into the Reds plans next season? Possible  #5 starter? The Reds only used him as a pinch hitter this year I know, not sure if he was injured or what the story was. The top 4 spots seem to be pretty much sewn up. Harang, Volquez, Arroyo, Cueto...after that it's anyone's guess. Would like to see Bailey step forward but I really think he gets traded this off-season. Just was curious.

With two moves, I would be fairly satisfied with this lineup. Well...not really but it would be somewhat more acceptable.

CF Bruce

SS Keppinger

LF Dunn

3B Encarnacion

RF Griffey Jr.

2B Phillips

1B Votto

C Ross

Ideally I would want Hairston in there at SS and leading off, but he's hurt...also Votto should be higher up in the order but this is being semi-realistic. Encarnacion and Dunn just flat out HAVE to be our 3 and 4 hitters the way they are swinging the bat right now.

I'm currently looking for a few owners for my brand new OOTP baseball league. The league will begin in the 2008 season with full 2008 rosters, you can check them out here:

I'm always looking for good baseball minds and this league is purely for fun and if you're not familiar with OOTP baseball it is a very deep, realistic baseball sim that's alot of fun particularly in leagues like this. The message board is here, if this sounds like something you'd be interested in head there or shoot me a message on AIM at BDub2105. Thanks for your time.
