What? Really? You do realize that he tied the Royals' Alberto Callaspo for the
major league lead in errors by a second baseman in 2009, right? They each had
17. For comparison, Brandon Phillips had 9.

The Reds already had reached the limit of their budget for player salaries, and
they already have plenty of veteran infield depth - and all three of Miguel
Cairo, Aaron Miles, and Chris Burke together may not have cost them $3.5 million
despite Miles' $2.7 million salary for 2010, because Cairo and Burke are on
minor league contracts.

Looks like my error here, I apologize. Looks like he signed for 2
million with Cardinals a couple of days ago. Still think for that price
he woud have provided a better backup than what they have now.

Do you really want a kid like Frazier sitting the pine at this stage of
his career? I would rather him playing for the Bats getting Atbats...
