Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

This team has huge concerns finishing the season. Cueto is no longer Cueto. Chapman has not been himself for a while. Frazier is not hitting. Heck, why do I need to spell this out. They just freaking lost 2 of 3 to the Astros, and at home no less.

Knowing the WB's will sweep the Fucktards the last series of the season....the lead is 4.5...LOL....these asshats just scored 7 runs in 3the games at home against the worst team in baseball. They cant even put this division away to get guys like cueto a few starts off before the playoffs.

oh duhsty....looks like he is getting pissed at people asking him a reasonable question about putting Frazier at SS with Cozart out


I asked Dusty Baker if with Zack Cozart out, the Reds consider playing Todd Frazier at shortstop. I should say I asked him again.

“No,” Baker said. “What makes you keep asking me that question?”

Me: “He came up as a shortstop.”

Baker: “So what? Everybody came up as a shortstop.”

Me: “He actually played it in the minors.”

Baker: “They didn’t move him off short for nothing. Am I right? If he was as shortstop, he’d still be there. They moved him to first, they moved him right, they moved him to left. They were looking for a position for him. You just don’t throw anybody at shortstop. That’s probably the toughest, most-athletic position on the field.”

I don’t think Frazier would win a Gold Glove at shortstop, but I think he’d make the routine plays. He played 72 games there in the minors. He was moved because Cozart is better.

But with Cozart out, the Reds are starting Wilson Valdez tonight. Valdez is hitting .091 since August 1. His last extra base hit was July 5. I think you have to weigh what Valdez brings defensively against what Frazier would add offensively.

Leave it to John Fay to make Dusty look like a reasonable and intelligent person. Frazier is not a SS. The problem is not playing Valdez in place of an injured Cozart. The problem is that Valdez is included in the roster in the first place.

This.

As much as I loath the dumb bastard, it isn't Dusty's fault that he has the flying Guerrero brothers for a bench.
