The Reds offense erupted for 14 runs on Wednesday to blow past the Arizona Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. The Redlegs scored 13 of their runs in the final four frames, including six in the sixth inning and another five in the ninth inning. Xavier Paul, Donald Lutz, and Yorman Rodriguez each homered.
It marked just the second win of the spring in six tries for Cincinnati, but have no fear, these games don't count in the standings, and it is still a long way off from Opening Day. I digress.
For your viewing pleasure, I have scoured the web high and low to collect some interesting baseball and Reds-related reading material. No need for thanks, folks. Just enjoy the post.

It wasn't too long ago when catcher Devin Mesoraco was heralded as the undisputed top prospect in Cincinnati's system. In fact, it was less than one year ago. Now, speedster Billy Hamilton holds that title after swiping more bases in 2012 than you can shake a stick at (155 to be exact).
Expectations were high for Mesoraco entering his rookie season. Many even dubbed him...

February 27, 2013
Some people weren't too thrilled when the Reds signed Ryan Ludwick to a one-year deal prior to the 2012 season. The veteran's numbers had declined steadily since his 2008 All-Star campaign with St. Louis, a campaign in which smashed 37 homers, batted .299, and drove in 113 runs, to the point he hit only .237 with a .310 on-base percentage during the 2011 season. To be fair...

By Ryan GorceyOriginally published at Cincy Hardball
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Apart from serving as the lone major international baseball competition since the sports ouster from the Olympics, one of the main goals of the World Baseball Classic since its inception has been to foster the worldwide growth of baseball, to get young people in countries across the globe to pick up a glove and...
Other Prospects
Cincinnati boasted the top bullpen in baseball last year and come into 2013 with great depth despite losing Aroldis Chapman to the rotation. They don’t any reliever prospects knocking on the MLB door right now, but there are a lot of strong arms that could make a case in the future.
