The last 30 days

[Wally Mo Pena]

Much smack is talked here about reds players, both pro and con, and i just thought it would be enlightening to look at who's been getting it done over the last month and who has been in the toilet, since season stats can be misleading as far as current performance.

Gettin it done:

I think that does a lot to show who the most important players in our lineup are, really. When Dunn and Freel aren't hitting, the team has trouble.

[redsrbetter]

agreed. Without looking at the stats, I believe most of us who watch the games could have said he was hot and who was not. Geki is right, Dunn and Feel having a hard time at the plate shares that this lineup is not doing well because they are both off at the same time.
