CTA513 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 John Fay posted the opening day lineup on his blog. He also mentioned that Mario Soto will be with the Reds to help out Cueto and Volquez. [quote][b]Opening Day lineup [/b] Corey Patterson CF Jeff Keppinger SS Ken Griffey Jr. RF Brandon Phillips 2B Adam Dunn LF Edwin Encarnacion 3B Scott Hatteberg 1B Javier Valentin C Aaron Harang P Valentin or Paul Bako was the only question after Dusty Baker said what he said about Hatteberg. Also, the Reds brought Mario Soto north with the team to help out with Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez. Smart move. Highlight of the workout was Harang going deep. The fans loved it.

Who Dey Forever Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hatteberg over Votto? Eh, not a big fan of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#22 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Reds will be a good team IF they get third base in working order. EE is not that great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE is not that great...[/quote] He was the best hitter on the team once he was called back up. BY FAR. He also had one of the best fielding %s once he called back up too. He is a slow starter but he is the most talented and most clutch bat on the 25 man right now. Narrons dumbass didnt help with EE. Baker is doing it right. [quote name='Jason' post='647212' date='Mar 30 2008, 04:47 PM']That's a Dusty Baker move.[/quote] Or the fact that Votto sucked ass in the spring and they will ease him in. Hatteberg EARNED an opening day start. Votto did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BengalsFREAK| Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Absolutely correct Thurman. Hatte's bat is warmer than Votto's right now. I don't expect to see Votto sitting on the bench a lot though. I'm sure he'll get plenty of playing time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Edwin already has his first error of the season. I think he changed his number as well. Well Go Reds! That error kind of hurt too. 1-0 Diamondbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of cincy fans have trouble grasping reality. Im as enthusiastic as any one of yall. But you strike me as the type that would still say with a straight face The reds are going to make the playoffs, if after 30 games they 7-23.
