Joey Votto 0.200

  • Davide Dallospedale needs to get the bat off his shoulder. 
  • Adam Liddi needs an eye. 
  • Adam Dunn doesn't swing out of the zone, nor does he take anything in it. 
  • Pete Orr needs to be more like Dallospedale.

I wonder if Denorfia would have been better served playing ST

Granted you can’t take too much from a few WBC games, but isn’t he trying to earn a spot on the ML roster?

I'm starting to like our bullpen......Wuertz and all.

If he's getting, or was getting, a better look

at the WBC, it may have been a better showcase.
