The speedy Stubbs is eyeing to bury a disappointing 2011 in favor of a better '12 The Cincinnati outfielder is entering his third full season in the majors this year and one can only hope that this one turns out better than his last. Despite swiping a career high 40 bases (T-2nd most in NL) in 2011, the former Texas Longhorn also saw declines in batting average, homers, RBIs, on-base percentage and WAR. Oh, and did I mention he went down on strikes a club record and league-leading 205 times last year? But despite struggling mightily at times during his sophomore campaign, the team remains confident that he'll rebound strong in 2012. And rightfully so. The 27-year old possesses a unique blend of speed, size and power. Whether or not he can put it all together in a single season still remains to be seen, but the beginning of a new year gives way to the promise that he can. To help give a better idea of what this upcoming season may hold for him, I've dug up proj...

Who's hot and who's not in spring training

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 11, 2012
Denis Phipps has enjoyed a solid spring thus far Believe it or not, the Redlegs (4-4-1) are already a quarter of the way through their Spring Training schedule. And while the preseason isn't exactly a good indicator of regular season success, it does carry serious implications for a lot of players just trying to make the roster. With that in mind here are the players turning...

Does Dusty still hold grudge against Cubs?

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 12, 2012
Reds manager Dusty Baker spent four years in Chicago as manager of the Cubs from 2003-06. And although it's been nearly half a decade since, the 62-year old still seems a bit sour on the way things ended there. Baker was asked before Monday's Reds-Cubs Spring Training game how he felt about playing against a team he used to manage. Here's what he had to say: “I...

Reds announce Aaron Boone as Grand Marshal of parade

Via Red Hot Mama  |  March 11, 2012
For the parade on Opening Day this year, the Reds have selected former third baseman Aaron Boone to be the Grand Marshall. One can only look forward to the year when Sean Marshal is chosen. Grand Marshal Marshal. It has a certain Catch-22 ring to it. The Cincinnati Reds and Findlay Market announce that Reds great and ESPN broadcaster Aaron Boone will be the Grand Marshal of the...

Groin injury holds back Reds reliever Bray

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  March 11, 2012
GOODYEAR, Ariz. It would be easy for Bill Bray to throw his hands in the air and say, "Why me? Why put myself through this? Is there something else I can do?" That, though, isn't in Bray's make-up and is part of the reason that when he is healthy he is a guy you want on the mound when it it decide-time in baseball games. Uh, that's when he is healthy. And...

Cozart learning to become leader at shortstop

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  March 12, 2012
MESA, Ariz. Even though Zack Cozart is a 26-year-old rookie scheduled to play his first full season, Cincinnati Reds Manager Dusty Baker expects him to show the leadership of a drill sergeant, expects him to be the captain of the infield. The shortstop position demands it. To achieve that, Cozart is getting both ears filled, but the words come from two Hall of Famers and former...

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 10, 2012
Saturday's affair with the Oakland A's (6-3) made the Reds (4-4-1) thankful that these games only serve as exhibitions.

2012 projections: Scott Rolen

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 10, 2012
The Cincinnati third basemen is pursuing another productive and non-injury filled season in '12 Scott Rolen is one of those few players in Major League Baseball who can positively impact a team off the field. However, if given the choice the Reds would much rather have him impact the team on the field in 2012. A shoulder ailment limited the Jasper, In. native to just...

Baseball card of the day: Mat Latos

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 12, 2012
This card is from the 2012 Topps "Opening Day" collection. It's the first image I've seen of Latos in an actual Reds uniform. Although the card is photoshopped or visually-altered in someway, it's still good to see the newcomer in Cincinnati attire.

Duffy makes first spring start

Via Fox Sports Kansas City  |  March 09, 2012
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) -- Scott Rolen singled in a run to help a Cincinnati Reds split squad beat the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Friday. Rolen's health is a key for Cincinnati after the veteran third baseman played in only 65 games for the Reds last season. He had surgery on his left shoulder in July. Rolen has five hits in nine at-bats this spring and appears to be mobile in...
