  • I kinda figured he'd go off about that, he's the biggest Sean Casey fan in the tri-state area I think.

    The Reds have a knack of acquiring slow, base-hitting 1B without power, and Casey just became another one of them. With the Reds lacking speed on offense and pitching...well, period, Casey is just a casualty to get just that. As much as I loved the guy, we can't be paying $8M for a guy to hit .310 when we can get Pena in the lineup with Dunn playing just as well defensively at first.
