It is what it is
Not for me...I think Votto not being on the field WAS the biggest reason the Reds flopped. Im also rigid about that because I really believe he COULD have played most of last year. More to the story there, but I'm hopeful he's ready to go back to work this year.
I was thinking about the LF thing. There are probably more options than we know about- beyond Morse, who is just a younger Ludwick, IMO, and Aoki...Alex Rios is a likely 1-2 year offer guy at a salary not much more than Luddy got last year. Tori Hunter is 39, but he is a Cincinnati native, and he still plays the OF like he's 29. I'd rather give him a 1 year shot than Ludwick. Hell, Asdrubal Cabrera could be signed to play 3b, moving Frazier to LF...would also give a nice backup at SS/2b just in case. He IS only 29, and coming off 2 consecutive declining years wouldn't be expensive.
