Finally India produced today with a HR and two other hits.. 3 hits, a hr and 2 rbi's.. I still have my doubts about the guy, but I never say never.
One seemingly big problem the Reds have now is the almost complete lack of viable backups for Votto unless perhaps someone like Blandino can really come into his own this season at first. (Perhaps Davidson as well hitting well over .300 in ST) Blandino always seemed like a middling player, but he's had a pretty good ST this year and does play first. How he fares in the bigs is anyone's guess. He had a few seasons wiped away with injuries, but has looked pretty decent since then. JVM has had a pretty good ST as well.  I'm still never quite ready to think we should anoint any player based on ST games. Other teams are also throwing out pitchers who won't amount to anything which can make anyone look like a world beater in ST only to flounder in the RS. But still...gotta start somewhere. ST is often the only shot some of these guys will ever get to face big league pitching.
