Joey Votto, in whom the Reds are so heavily invested, has been hurt most of the season and ineffective when he does play. First base has to be a power position since the guys posted there generally don’t do blaze on the bases, but Votto has only six dingers on the season. He’s probably done for a good while, and the Reds need to find some offense at this position.
