JJ Bleday homered for the Reds’ only run and walked Sunday in the loss to the Cubs.

Bleday has 23 homers and an adequate .215/.325/.415 line through 524 plate appearances. It’ll be interesting to see if that’s enough to get him another year in Cincinnati. He should be rather affordable in arbitration ($4 million?), but his ceiling seems low, and it’d be nice if the Reds could do better, especially if they’re going to start Héctor Rodríguez as one of their outfield corners.
