Frazier deserved it. In fact he should have been a starter, he's the best 3B in the NL by a fair degree right now.

Mesoraco is slotted correctly as a manager's selection. His numbers might be crazy if not for two DL stints. He currently wouldn't qualify in any slash category because of too few plate appearances, but when he's played he's been among the best in the NL.

It appears that instead of putting the 250 million dollar man on the DL, and with Pena on paternity leave, the Reds would like to further compound playing shorthanded (in addition to having one too many guys in the bullpen that Price doesn't even pitch because they suck) by starting one of the best defensive right fielders in the majors at first base. That's right, folks! Jay Bruce, in a slump, will play first base for the first time in his minor/major league career in the middle of the season, despite never playing the position at all at any level of baseball. Because they're the Reds.

I don't think even Dusty Baker is so shit-all stupid as to try something like this.

Think about that for a minute. Not even Dusty Baker.

What choice does Price have though? He can only fill out a lineup with the roster he's given. This stupidity is on Walt Jocketty.

Stick anyone over there. Skip F, that retarded sack of shit Ludwick, Heisey .....anyone but Bruce.

You don't make yourself weaker at two spots. No one else plays RF like Olaf. Leave him in RF, stick Heisey in LF and go with skip or Deaddick at 1B if Walts too goddamned ignorant to bring up the next useless fucker from AAA. The OF defense will actually be better.

Honestly, I had blocked those two out of my mind.

Still though, at 25-man roster with no 1B on it is fucking stupid.
