    We DESPERATELY need a lefthanded bat off the bench & a solid lead off hitter. so far in the leadoff spot, the Reds are batting a DISMAL .166 w/ .200 OBP...the absolute WORST in MLB. smh

      They need alot. A leadoff hitter, a third baseman, a better hitting SS, a quality back up for the middle infield, a LF, a left handed PH. It really is amazing to me that they are in first place and still with all these holes everyone wants to fire Dusty. Honestly Walt did a horrible job this offseason addressing their needs.

        Leadoff has been abysmal. Hell, when Jeff Brantley throws out the on-base percentage stat when talking about the leadoff spot, you know you're in trouble. At this point, I would take Willy Taveras or...gulp...Corey Patterson leading off over Stubbs or Cozart.

        It's time to put BP back in the lead-off spot and put Bruce in cleanup.

        As far as Youk...if it was three years ago, sure. But, do we really need another aging vet with a bad back?

          Still somehow they are in first place.
          No way I would take Taveras or Patterson over Stubbs or Cozart though.
          If Bruce can hit better move him up to the 4 hole and put Phillips in the 1 or 2 spot.

              Shocking, really, that they're in first place. The Cardinals have been better in just about every phase of the game.

                    Are we missing something brother? Is Cairo a defensive wizard? It's not like Frazier needed rest. It is mind boggling. This team can't afford to lose series to teams like the Astros.

                      It's just Dusty Baker's management style to give veteran guys playing time. Out of anything that I dislike about him, this irks me the most.

                              I like it. Except I would bat Bruce clean-up instead of Frazier.

                                Can we just fire the whole team and try and clone Votto? If that works we are set!
