    For the love of g-d I would just like to see us have a 1-2-3 top of the first and then just blast the ever loving **** out of them with a 6 spot in the bottom half.

    Why is Reed hitting 2? Seriously? Who does Chris Johnson have to sleep with to bat higher?
    Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg

    I agree, you don't put a rusty player in his first game back in the two hole. Reed missed too much time, this isn't the same as Heyward's situation. Plus Reed has looked terrible in his AB's pinch hitting so far.

    Reed Johnson should be hitting no higher than 8th, IMO.

    It also seems Fredi has chosen Reed over Joey T. I doubt either are ready to contribute much if any come the playoffs. This is why I'd been getting Joey T starts off and on the past month. Oh well, I hope it doesn't burn us in the playoffs but it probably will at some point.

    I like Reed getting a start, but...

    Wish the NL had the DH in September, if nothing else.

    Reed is a much better option. Fredi made the correct choice there.

    He is at 100% (at least vs lefties) and with the time including AB's to be ready. But do you really think a few games is enough after all the time he missed? I don't.

    Enough to be more useful than Joey T? Yes.

    This is Reed Johnson's audition to see if he's ready for the playoffs. Last night on the broadcast they had mentioned him along with Walden going to instructional leagues earlier next week to get into game shape.

    That wasn't the question, obviously neither have been useful this month. Nor is there reason to expect either to change without enough time, including starts and AB's to get going again.

    Hopefully that helps both of them, but we really should've played Joey T more this past month just to be safe. We also should've called up Obispo giving us another power righty option in the bullpen. Now if Walden cannot comeback we're going to be pretty screwed in the playoffs there too.

    If it is between him and Joey T, like you proposed, that is definitely the question.

    Nah, it is a simple fact of what our bench options are that I noted. But I understand why you refuse to answer the question.

    Are you kidding me? I answered the question. Is Reed ready? More ready than the other option. That might not be the answer you want, but it is definitely an answer.
