I was kinda hoping they'd put Elly in RF, he's got the arm for it. And put him down like 5th or 6th and batting order and maybe take some pressure off him. Almost all power hitters strike out a lot, but not that much! He's got to quit swinging at stuff that bounces or is a foot outside off the plate. If opposing pitchers don't have to throw strikes to get him out, they're not going to.

And I hate to keep  but if he can't hit right handed, stop letting him switch hit. 

I also don't get this move. I didn't read much beyond the headline. Did they explain why?

Elly seems like a corner outfielder for his skill set; RF and his arm, as you said, match perfectly. Is this more of an attempt to hype the guy from a marketing angle? Elly, the next great Reds SS to follow the likes of Concepcion and Larkin. He's a marketable player and SS is the 'it factor' position.
