Originally posted by Ken View PostAquino's rise to the big leagues has been remarkable this year. Former top prospect due to the raw talent, but struggled with Ks. Apparently a swing change this spring produced great results. Tore up AAA and he's on fire to start his MLB career. Set the Reds record for exit velocity, and he's only played 7 games.
Huge power and great arm in the OF. One of the best nicknames going "The Punisher". The talk is that he has all the tools to become a star, and he's already hitting cleanup. But he'll be 26 years old next year. Strange path.
Fun player to watch. I somehow snagged him in a keeper league last weekend for $2, hoping he's on my team for many years going forward.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Aquino is the first player in MLB history to hit 8HR in his first 12 games.
Wild rideAfter former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

I just dont see galvis supplanting Iglesias and while I am not a Peraza guy, I have to think the Reds will give him semi-regular at bats. Galvis plays half the time at most, the rest of the way.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

apparently Iglesias will be leaving via FA and Galvis is signed thru 2020.
could be the former while the Reds pretend to contend, then Galvis after?

interesting.
could come down a bit to who is pitching that day.
the 1986 Mets had Sid Fernandez, among the most extreme fly ball Ps ever, iirc. MGR Davey Johnson, a pioneer in many ways, figured out that he could get away with HoJo at SS with Sid pitching, getting Kevin Mitchell into the lineup at 3rd base and sitting weaker-hitting SS Rafael Santana - a veritable Maytag repairman with Sid pitching.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Aquino with HR #11 tonight and now up to 22 RBI, all since August 1. Liking his chances for NL player of the month even though we still have two more weeks left.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
