Baker Looking for a "True" Leadoff Hitter

A Neifi Perez signing cannot be far behind.

When the Reds get Corey Patterson, Dusty will point out Corey's skin color as the reason he is getting more playing time than Bruce. I can't have a white guy running around the outfield in the heat of Summer.

 

That's right..... and it gets a whole lot more humid in Cincinnati in the summertime than it does in Chicago !!

One of my best friends is a Reds fan and he has been pretty excited about Dusty. I've tried to warn him, to no avail. #-o

I'm hoping for Scott Hatteberg and Craig Wilson to be hot in April. That would bury Joey Votto at least until the break.

That does seem to be the theme in this thread. I admit that I'm elated that another fan base will now be subjected to all that Dusty brings to the table. However, has anyone considered that the sun could possibly shine on even Baker's behind this year or next? How devestating would that be to Cubs fans?

well the sun shone on ours in 2003, but we saw the cost of that

I was thinking the same thing. If he takes them to the playoffs one year but it costs them all their young starters' careers -- that'll be par for the course.
