The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Scott Hatteberg “would welcome a trade” after losing his starting job to Joey Votto. Hatteberg is 0-for-7 as a pinch-hitter and said that his patient approach at the plate makes him ill suited for the job. Hatteberg said he is not demanding, or even asking, for a trade, but would like the opportunity to start. He said that pinch-hitting isn’t “conducive” to his style of hitting, and the numbers back that statement up, he has hit .164 as a pinch-hitter over his career. General manager Walt Jocketty said Sunday that he hasn’t talked to any teams about Hatteberg. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)
