I'd say a slight decline but nothing that'd sound any alarms.

I've never seen that video. That's absolutely hilarious. I don't believe in umpire abuse but the video almost looks like it was edited because that bat toss was about a 9/10.

Two players I think the Reds missed on is Ibanez and Damon both lefties. Bigger problem is us hitting RH pitching.
Damon could leadoff and let BP hit 4 vs LH vs RH use Bruce in 4 spot
A guy like Ibanez could be a good LH bat so guys like RH Westbrook do not kill us
Both guys are making less than 2 Million this year.
