I thought the Reds is going to trade Larson away? Why is he send down to minor again? Should the Reds just showcase him and then trade him away?

Well, considering how bad Larson's looked at the plate in the majors, AAA might actually be a better place to showcase him if the Reds are looking to boost his trade value...

It probably is a good idea Arlo, he was playing very well in AAA but terrible in the major. He may get call up again if Boone is traded.

Larson is looking like a classic AAAA player, not fit for either league. He'll end up being traded to Tampa Bay/Detroit/Milwaukee pretty soon for pitching prospects.

Couldn't agree more. Larson can mash with AAA and his major league prospects seem to be fading. He did get injured, but still he doesn't seem to be able to hit major league pitching. Its not like when he got sent down he struggled, he went right back to hitting AAA pitching.

I am very guarded and reserved on his long-term major league prospects.
