Taveras is back in the starting lineup on Thursday, with the Reds facing lefty Brett Cecil, the Dayton Daily News reports. Once again, he's batting leadoff. Recommendation: While sometimes too much can be made out of batting orders, how in the world does it make sense to keep rolling Taveras out in the leadoff spot? The Reds seemingly are still stuck in the "speed = leadoff" trap that they fell into with Corey Patterson last year. |
