Kirkendall Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 -- I was wondering who we dropped to bring up Bong. Damn Kearns, he's worse than Griffey was three years prior.The Cincinnati Reds today placed right fielder Austin Kearns on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right thumb, retroactive to June 2, and recalled left-handed pitcher Jung Keun Bong from Louisville. Kearns, who has missed nine straight starts, is hitting .195 with three home runs and 13 RBI. Bong will make his second career start tonight in Oakland. He's 4-4 with a 4.89 ERA in 10 starts in Class AAA Louisville. The Reds play the A's at 10:05 p.m. Quote
Kirkendall Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Posted June 8, 2004 I'm getting really tired of his inability to stay healthy. I'd much rather see Wily Mo in the everyday lineup. The guys has serious power and tons of speed; he's a linebacker for pete's sake. Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah, Kearns is very dissapointing with this stint, hes already been out of the lineup for the past 9 games. Quote
