Alex Blandino deserves a damn roster spot, Reds

The last three years of professional baseball have seen Alex Blandino pick up a grand total of 502 offical PA. Total.

Spread across both AAA Louisville (in two stints) and the Cincinnati Reds (in two stints), that’s it. If a baseball year features six months of season, that’s roughly 18 would-be months of ball, and divvied up accordingly that comes down to 27 PA a month, or less than one single step in the batter’s box per baseball day in that time.

Of course, even that kind of sparse regularity would have probably been preferable to the path Blandino has actually trod in that time.
