Yeah, this post is tardy because I’ve been on the road since April ended, but we’re going to handle the Player of the Month Award for the Reds just like we did the minor leaguers. A poll in the left sidebar, vote for a few days, and we’ll let you guys, the Nation, select the April POTM. Here are the contenders:
* Joey Votto: .370/.500/.598, 4 HR, 7 doubles, 1 triple, 14 RBI, 23 BB.
* Brandon Phillips: .360/.420/.539, 3 HR, 7 doubles, 13 RBI, Gold Glove defense.

* Aroldis Chapman: 2-0, 1.42 ERA, 12.2 IP, 15 K.
