I don't know if you guys read this story, but I'm a little worried that Womack is going to be the starter at the begining of the season.

I attribute Womack's numbers going down last year because he wasn't happy playing left and that shit takes a toll but there is no way I could start him over Freel. Freel has earned a starting job.
Womack was a piece of shit before last year. He's a leadoff man who can't get on base.
i just don't get the "old school" baseball guys like Narron, he drives me nuts with his comments. First he says spring training is all about competition and guys are going to have earn their jobs. Then he says that spring training stats don't mean anything if you're a major leaguer. So... tell me again how he's going to decide who has won the second base job? freel, aurillia, and womack are all major leaguers, so what do they have to do, win an ass kissing contest?
Reds MVP Race
6: Arroyo, Harang
5: Kearns
4: Phillips
3: Dunn, Felo, Freel, Milton
2: Claussen, EdE, Griffey, Valentin
1: Aurilia, Hatteberg, Lizard, Larue, Shackelford
I don't think it is a chancein hell for Freel to win a butt kissing contest either. Aurilia has already established that. And Freel has a lot of making up to do because of his second incident with alcohol. The worst part is, Freel is not hitting right now whereas Aurilia is doing well.
Aurilia isn't doing well, either. Womack's the only one hitting worth a damn, but he's been useless on the basepaths.
Yep you are right there. I didn't realize Aurilia was doing so bad. But he is still playing far better than Freel so far.
Freel is terrible this spring, womack is hitting well. so there you go.. but then again last year guys who did well in spring got cut.. so really its all whoever kisses Narrons ass the most
Well, hopefully with Miley and O'Brien gone, this will not be the case.
i guess it will be the first test to see if things are going to be any differentOriginally Posted by volzok
