Reds Out of the Gate, part II

Jinx!
No sooner did I make the post above than the season turned south in a hurry. It's really, really bad folks (as of May 5 now). Krivsky's been fired, new GM Jocketty won't turn the boat around this soon, and the team is more or less apathetic about winning, it seems. NEW grades for each category as of May 15:

Overall season so far: F+

Offense: C+ (Dunn, Griffey: D)

Defense: C (Dunn: F; Griffey: D)

Starting Pitching: D+ (Arroyo: F; Fogg: D; Harang: A; Volquez: A; Cueto: B; Beleisle: C)

Releif pitching: B+ Still a remarkable improvement over last year.

Clutch hitting: F (This is what is killing the Reds this year: No hitting with RISP (runners in scoring position)

Fundamentals: C

Dunn by himself: F-

Selected individual players: Harang (A+); Arroyo (F); Fogg (D); Cueto (B); Volquez (A); Cordero (A+); Lincoln (B); Bako (A); Valentin (incomplete); Votto (B); Hatteburg (B); Phillips (A); EE (D-); Keppinger (A); Dunn (F-); Griffey Jr (C-).

Baker: C. This is the future manager of the Reds? Doesn't seem to have made an impact at all.
