I think Joey's problems are more psychological than physical, but I don't see him getting them straightened out this late in the year.
I don't hate Votto and yes there's a part of me, large part, that would like to see him retire a Red a World Series winning Red !
But I also know we can't afford to have an everyday 1Bman hitting .250 with 45 RBI's a season ! He's striking out at nearly a rate of a power hitter... but he's not hitting like a power hitter. His slugging % is now below 400
And in the end I want to see the Reds win more than I want to see Votto finish out his career here.
