He's a 26-year old lefthanded hitting outfielder from Somerset, KY who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2003 draft by the Astros out of Eastern Kentucky University, where hwe was the Ohio Valley Conference MVP in 2003 that year in NCAA competition. He ascended the Astro's minor league chain somewhat quickly, to hit the bigs in 2005, and has now played parts of three seasons in the majors with the Astros, Braves, Tigers, and Royals. He stole 30+ bases four times in the minors, but his major league OBP last year was .276, just one point better than what Willy Taveras put up. He didn't do anywhere near as well in the AL as he had done in the NL previously. Odds are he'll put up some decent BA and SB numbers in Louisville, get called up to the reds at some point if a couple guys get hurt, and...I dunno, probably proceed to stink up the joint. Or he could come into his own as a hitter and turn into the next Brett Butler, which would be fine with me and, I'm sure, fine with the Reds...but I'm not holding my breath. It's more likely we have a lefty-hitting Taveras, or Darnell McDonald with less power and better wheels. JK
