Top 11 Prospects

Prospectus prospect guru Kevin Goldstein has released his annual Top 11 list for the Reds ($).  Kevin has given each player a star rating - and the Reds have three guys in the elite Five-Star class (Bruce, Bailey, Votto, duh).  Johnny Cueto is a Four-Star guy, while 2007 draftees Todd Frazier, Kyle...

Top 12 Most Offensive Team Names In Fantasy Baseball

Every league is going to be chock full of unimaginative, boring team names like Sith Lords or KLM1972 or Colorado Cubs. It's awful. Me being the type to harp over a team name longer than I do when I'm debating on whether to use my #1 waiver priority on Johnny Cueto or not, I'm generally proud of the names I come up with. While I'm on the subject, you may play with...

Moving and Shaking with Pat Burrell

Pat The Bat Burrell is playing like a man possessed by the ghost of Babe Ruth. Today he took acoustic rock god Bronson Arroyo deep twice, and has gone Yahtzee! 3 times on the season. Through 7 games, he's 10-23 for a .435 average with 4 runs scored, 3 doubles, the previously mentioned 3 longballs (Burrell loves that he has longballs, he's a mackdaddy that way), 9 rbi, 4 walks...

Reds have improved dramatically

You heard it here. The Cincinnati Reds took giant strides to improve this year, just by signing Dusty Baker, and promoting Johnny Cueto to the big league level. This kid may just have the best young arm in MLB. Time will tell, but early indications show that this young righty, under the tutelage of Mario Soto, will continue to get better. Barring arm problems, I will predict...

Johnny Cueto Makes His Major League Debut, Everyone Notices + Scouting Reports

Cincinnati Reds RHP Johnny Cueto made his major league debut on Thursday and everyone around the majors took note. In his stellar debut, the 5′10″ 22 year-old pitched seven innings, allowing only one hit, a home run to the Arizona Diamondbacks' Justin Upton in the 6th inning. He had been pitching a perfect game until that point. By the end of the seventh, Cueto had...

The worm has definitely turned

I try to keep this blog on the analytical tip, so I try to stay away from "symbolic" moments, but this one I can't resist.It happened, ironically, in the first inning of the only Brewer loss so far this season.On a simple fly ball to right, Brewers 2nd baseman Rickie Weeks tagged up and charged for the plate. The Cubs new RF Fukudome made a horrible decision to make...

How Long Before Dusty Baker Ruins Johnny Cueto?

In case you missed it Thursday, Reds rookie Johnny Cueto was rather impressive making his major league debut. The 22-year-old was perfect through his first five innings before giving up a solo HR to Justin Upton in the 6th, the only base-runner he allowed all game. Cueto went seven innings of one-r...

Series Recap: Giants at Brewers

After the Cubs series, I was happy with a series win. Going into the series with the Giants, anything less than a sweep would have been a disappointment. The Giants are in a state a flux and just not very good right now. If the Brewers Canning-Craft-Beer are going to be a playoff team, these are the type of things they need to do to attain that goal. The Good Ben Sheets is...

Gorzo and Cueto

Interesting pitching match-up today as Tom Gorzelanny takes the mound against 2008's early season phenom, Johnny Cueto. Cueto is exactly the kind of pitcher that kills the Pirates (seriously, don't I just say that about everyone?). He's a hard thrower that strikes out a ton of hitters and he's been d...

Cincinnati Reds: Five Things to Look Forward to in 2009

1. No more Junior!-Finally, finally, finally. The Ken Griffey Jr. era was an complete disaster for the Reds on many fronts and the team and the organization needed to move on from the injury prone superstar. 2009 will be the Reds first full season without Junior around, so look for the young ...
