Or maybe it's they haven't cut the cord on certain existing guys yet.
I get real nervous any time Ashcraft, Gibaut, or Barlow comes into the game.
Just when you thought the Reds were coming along with their bats, they're cool again to start June.
If the goal from the club is to have guys just hit line drives and get on base and less caring about power, they didn't bring in the proper hitters for that.
Too many of their guys are batting sub-.250, and they really need a few guys batting .270+ if they don't care about power.
My worry is this is a make-or-break month for the Reds.
They too often falter after the ASB, so they need to get back within 1-2 games of the WC, or really be in one of the WC spots come ASB.
I'll be keeping my FDSN monthly sub for this month and next, but come August if they aren't close to contention, I might save that $20/month since it will be getting back into football preseason.

These next 3 weeks are going to go a long way towards telling us what this team is or isn't?
