As has been noted in many prior threads he's the 10th highest paid player in all of MLB, or very close to the top 10 ? He makes a full 1/4th of the entire Reds payroll !!!

He's currently batting .235, not far above the Mendoza line. He has 5 yes FIVE RBI's ! That's on pace for about 40 for the entire season. And he's tied for the team lead with 29 strikeouts. I'd love to know how many strikeouts looking he has in those 29 ?

Among all the MLB 1st basemen he's close to or at the bottom of nearly every offensive category.

It's like he walks up to the plate and if he doesn't get the perfect pitch he's looking for he ain't swinging. To hell with the team and the situation ! Forget the win I have to keep my on base % up, I want a walk.

Joey Votto, stop looking to walk and start helping your team with your "all world bat"

I think there is still 5 more years on his contract but not sure
