Missing the All-Star game might not be so bad for Cincinnati Reds DH Jose Vera. After a slow start to the year, Vera has been on fire since late May and currently sits just two home runs shy of 300 for his career.
"I'm looking forward to a few days off this week, and I won't be participating in the home run derby this year. Our fans are going to experience something that has never been seen before this weekend after the break."
Time will tell if Vera will reach the milestone this weekend against St. Louis, but if his early July start is any indication he definitely has a shot. In six games this month, Vera is hitting .357 with 5 HR and 12 RBI and has homered in 5 straight games.
"300 is just the next milestone in my career. I'll celebrate with my teammates the night it happens and then my focus is going to be hitting 301. I like giving the fans at GABP souvenirs, and I plan on giving them a lot more throughout my career."

Oh... This is about Jose Vera. I just assumed we were talking about the fact that Will "Everybody Hates Me" Taylor was 7 wins away from 300.

Naw. It's just Will Taylor. He doesn't deserve more than to be tacked on to another player's achievement.

Reds fans only received one souvenir from Vera this past sim, but with three games on the road against the Giants he has a shot at adding to the Splash Hits Counter in McCovey Cove.

But the Reds managed to score in only one of the three games at AT&T Park during a series sweep by the Giants.

I'd rather have it happen now than later though.
