Welcome, Narron. Now that we finally have you here, could you please explain us what does Freel have to do to make the starting lineup every day. Kill Womack and Aurilia? Or what?
Of course you are right, he offers nothing, just a .467 average and 1.267 OPS along with great fielding and baserunning that brings you a ton of extra runs.

Hi, it's April 12th, and Freel's a career .278 hitter with a .753 OPS, so let's not try and use the statistics from 14 at bats as a hinge in our argument here...

Maybe it's because 2B is a weak position??

yea, narron really needs to get a brain and get hatteberg out of the lineup...freel deserves to play more than he does...
For those of you who picked the Reds to be last in the central (including espn and si)...i hate all of you, and you are wrong...
