For exit velocity the leader board starts at 121.7 (Stanton) and ends at 100.2 (Tony Kemp), with B-Ham a close second to last at 101.9. He simply doesn't have the muscle or eye to be a good hitter. ALL of his advance stats shows he's a bottom 5 hitter in the league.

Billy is simply not a good hitter. No idea why they've tried to keep him for so long. I think they should of shopped him this year of last year before Arb kicks in. Much more appealing to teams than a guy going on his last arbitration.

I'd say you're right the Reds should have traded him. But that's pretty much been their history the last several seasons during this "rebuild".

They wait to long and they trade from a position of weakness. By and large they've got little to nothing from their trades.
