Hopper and Gomes are hot, bring them up !
Drew Stubbs’ recent play has been very encouraging. I hope we see him in September.
Stubbs is playing great right now. I think he can come in and play CF if/when Taveras moves on…
The if/when on Stubbs and/or Heisey replacing Taveras is spring of 2011. Barring a trade, the Reds will be shelling out $4M to Taveras next season.
And the Rockies couldn’t find anyone to trade with, so they just released him. Still complete boggles my mind that they Reds signed him to two years.
