Take the back of your baseball cards and rip them up, because Reds should have played the Hot Bat of Naquin.  Plus, the back of a Winker card is not that impressive.

Naquin has started 4 of the last 6 games. They have lost all of his last 3 starts.

LOL.. Winker is 23% better than league average as a hitter. How is that not impressive? That's 10% better than Suarez, 10% better than Castellanos, 22% better than Moustakas, 43% better than Senzel.

The difference between Winker and Naquin (21) is almost the same as the difference between Votto and Winker (24).

That's a Grade A ignorant hot take.

I get that he was hot and going well but you do realize that Winker is hitting .391 right?

So who do you bench? They guy hitting .265 with 5 HRs or the guy hitting .391 who is getting on base in front of Moose, Castellanos, and Suarez.

It isn't like they benched him for a guy who also isn't hitting, Winker isn't hitting for power, but we have plenty of power in the line-up. Need some guys that can hit for average.

If Naquin could play CF it'd be easy... bench Senzel who isn't hitting well.

Winker would be hitting for more power if that BS double was reviewed properly. Apparently chairs out of the field of play aren't homeruns anymore. Lol...

Naquin has played in CF in 2 of the last 6 games. He has started in 4 of the last 6 games. This thread is just Kevin being absurd.
