Blake Hawksworth..Trade him as he's got a lively arm but is not a good fit in a Cardinals uniform. Needs a change of scenery.
Kyle Lohse/Dennis Reyes/Jeff Suppan. What kind of garbage have they given us this year? Not even a chance to win. Reyes alone is like a left handed specialist which I understand but like 50-75 overweight easily. Looks terrible. Brendan Ryan. He's no Ozzie Smith and thats fine but his batting average is the lowest if not hovering around the .200. Simply unacceptable. Ok after doing research it's a paltry .218. Why is he still playing? I don't care how good defensively he is your constantly giving an out away nearly every time he comes out not to mention the pitchers spot. Ok as I look deeper giving him props Shortstop is not an easy position to play but 13 errors. Nope don't think so. Skip Schumacker 15 errors @ 2nd base. Between arguably your 3 best players Pujols,Holliday,Molina 10 errors combined. As for the pitching staff I feel sorry for the top 3 guys in the rotation that the front office couldn't go better and have just accepted this is the way it is. Hawksworth 5.13 ERA,Suppan 5.82 era,Lohse 7.12 era. See where I'm going with this? There already 7 games back let the kids play. Shut down the core players. There's only 4 weeks to play and that's my take on an abysmal season. Nice season Reds,my hats off to ya.
