Arizona Fall League Weekly Recap 11/7/2011

Since there were no scheduled games yesterday in the Arizona Fall League, that means once again it's time for the weekly recap of how the seven #Reds prospects are performing so far with the Phoenix Desert Dogs. Yasmani Grandal injured a finger on his left hand that bothers him when he catches, and even more so when he hits, so he's basically been shut down for the remainder...

Reds Need to Pursue James Shields

So, I’ve been reading multiple bits of speculation about what the Reds should/will do this offseason, and I thought it was time to weigh in with what I think the offseason plan should be. But, I don’t want to just go flailing and suggest, for instance, that the Reds should trade Drew Stubbs, Homer Bailey, and Edinson Volquez to the Mariners for Felix Hernandez. That kind of trade...

Yoenis Cespedes is a center fielder who defected from Cuban this summer. He reportedly expects to be cleared for free agency soon, and his agents are hoping he’ll sign a deal similar to the one Cuban pitcher Aroldis Chapman received. And why not?

Francisco Cordero Player Projection No. 152

Key Stats: Since 2004, Francisco Cordero has 302 saves. For a little perspective on that Mariano Rivera – the best closer of this or any generation – has 320 saves in that same time span (2 more saves per year). Cordero’s numbers haven’t always been pretty in this time, but he’s one of those pitchers that will likely be in in the 9th inning wherever he winds up because...
