CIN, HOU, MIL, PIT, CHC all pisspoor in 2009.

[*In a Nutsack]

RotoWorld occasionally has a gem amidst all their failed attempts at comedy:

Willy Taveras has been scratched from the lineup a fourth straight game Sunday.
Taveras is battling wrist problems. Without Jerry Hairston Jr, Laynce Nix is the immediate beneficiary. Taveras is batting .240/.279/.290 this season with 21 stolen bases. The Reds would be better served to move on after the year, but Taveras signed a two-year pact. It means another year of Dusty Baker ensuring the leadoff position isn't clogging up the bases. Of course, here Baker is just clogging up the bench.

I don't think they fail all that often.  I get a good snicker out of their blurbs.

More info, almost tore his right elbow off.

According to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, the ulnar collateral ligament in Edinson Volquez's right elbow was almost completely torn.
Volquez underwent Tommy John surgery on Monday morning. There is a chance that he could return late in 2010, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect him to return to form until 2011 at the earliest.

Wow...that's amazing. No Volquez in 2010 and in 2011 he's going to be mediocre like Liriano. That really fucks the Reds, big time.
