The Reds owners always sell off the talent. Terrible owners. We used to go to old Bush stadium a lot when I was elementary/high school. I've only been to Victory Field a couple of times, but it's pretty nice. Who was the last valuable player for the Indians/Pirates? Josh Bell?

Does anyone know if Steichen is indeed in Indianapolis ??

The Word is….yes, he is in Indy!

Winner.

Nailed it !!! :cool:

Living in Cincy and being a Reds fan I can say the Reds are still at least a year and probably more like 2 away from potentially being good. Most of the top prospects are projected to be in ~AA. Although De La Cruz ended in AA last year, so he might start out the season in AAA and work his way up to the majors by the end of the season I suppose.

They do have a good trio of young pitches, although Ashcraft sucked after coming back off the IL which is concerning, but the back of the rotation is an unknown. I also think the Reds will struggle at the plate until earlier mentioned prospects arrive, and aside from Alexis Diaz, who has the stuff to be a great closer, the BP will probably still suck.
