Willy’s Weeks

Found July 17, 2009 on Redleg Nation:
PLAYERS: Willy Taveras
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds

Picimg_mlb_mar_18_93ea
I was wondering just how many good weeks Willy Taveras has had this season — it just feels like he’s had about three excellent weeks and 15 godawful ones.  I was pretty close.  Only thing I didn’t realize was that he’s actually been okay the past two or three weeks. As you can see, Willy’s had two great weeks, four okay ones, and eight abysmal weeks. (Plate appearance totals are more or less similar, except he only had seven PAs in one of his amazing .000 weeks.)

Game Thread: Brewers at Reds — 2009.07.16

Via Redleg Nation  |  July 16, 2009
The second half begins…. I’m not going to lie to you; I’m a little concerned about the recent slide from the good guys. As noted the other day, this season is teetering on the edge. If the Reds go just 35-40 the rest of the way — I hope it doesn’t happen, but it isn’t entirely unreasonable, is it? — then they will finish the season 77-85...

The Next Great Cincinnati Red: Todd Frazier

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 17, 2009
Lately, the Cincinnati Reds have been on a youth movement, building their team from the farm system. Jay Bruce and Joey Votto are both great examples of that. But there is another prospect in the Reds farm system who will be a star when he gets the call to the majors. That future star is Todd Frazier. Some people might be scratching their heads, wondering who this kid is? Allow me...
