with all due respect chris, how many catchers jump from draft to big leagues in fewer than 6 years.

he's a backup catcher -- something you need and there's very little depth at that position in the minors.

with owings and buck, he's a third player in the deal -- a deal the reds felt they had to make (rightly or wrongly, and i go wrongly) because they were afraid dunn would accept arbitration

i saw a disturbing amount of jr's butt. they're good seats (right behind the camera cutout in sec. 141, about 4 rows above the fence)... but since jr always takes that pose before every pitch, i basically get to stare at his butt the whole game. my wife likes the seats just fine, though.
