Watch out for the new Big Red Machine's Jeff Keppinger. Now that it looks like Gonzalez may miss a substantial amount of time, if not the season, the starting SS job should belong to Keppinger. Thank goodness because I don't care to see Gonzalez on the field. He came on at the end of 2007 and tore the baseball up. He came in and batted .322 with 32 extra base hits and 32 RBI in just 67 games and posted a .400 OBP. The stat I love is that he only struck out 12 times and walked 24 times in 265 plate apperances. He can play any position on the diamond. This could be a big time sleeper that will qualify for SS and 3B.
