Joey Votto
30 May 2008
It was like pulling teeth for him to finally grant Joey Votto--the Reds' other uberprospect--the first-base job at the start of the season, and all Joey's done is hit .294/.362/.544 since then. Still, even the stubborn Baker had to see that a centerfield consisting of Corey "At Least I Run Fast" Patterson and Ryan "Demolition Derby" Freel wasn't going to cut it. (About the only nice thing about putting Freel in center is that it gives him fewer walls to smack into).
