Puig is an amazing athlete and fun to watch. He's a showboat and a bit of a nut case, but I give him a pass on that. Can't even imagine what it's like to go through what he's experienced in his life.

Also loved it last season when Nick Hundley mouthed off to him and Puig said, "Okay, it's go time." Hundley quickly scrambled to find any warm body he could hide behind.

Not a big fan of Puig. The Reds have been scoring runs in bunches lately and that makes it fun. But pitching wins championships. I'll get more into baseball once the Stanley Cup is over (Bruins fan here).

Now, he's the Indians problem. The Reds seem to have a nice rotation now. With the emergence of Van Meter maybe the Reds need to concentrate on bats while leaving the pitching core intact.

The good news for Puig is he will no longer have to get into scuffles defending Disco Derek Dietrich, one of MLB's biggest showboating douchebags.

Does he cut off his sleeves so that he can show off his muscles?
The Reds are wearing a bunch of throwback uniforms this year as an anniversary thing, and the sleeveless jerseys are part of that. Most players obviously wear a shirt underneath, but Big Ted Kluszewski wore his this way back in the day.
