If Keppinger can keep hitting at an 800+ OPS clip, especially v. lefties, I think that'd be a fantastic use of him, and a great way to get him consistent at bats. It'd also be a nice way to leverage Votto's talents in his first year.<BR/>-jJustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-79802325464953161702007-08-03T11:12:00.000-04:002007-08-03T11:12:00.000-04:00I just posted <A HREF="http://www.redreporter.com/story/2007/8/3/11156/07943" REL="nofollow">this at RR</A>, but what do you think about Keppinger as a possible platoon at 1B next year with Votto? Votto struggles against lefties (.690 OPS this year vs. .906 against righties), but Keppinger seems to put up much better numbers against lefties. Votto would still get about two-thirds of the starts, and during that time Keppinger can be a utility infielder/right-handed pinch hitter. What do you think?Joelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08493717107262478265noreply@blogger.com
