Cincinnati signed outfielder Daryl Jones on Wednesday.
A former third-round selection by St. Louis in 2005, the 24-year old hit .260/.360/.400 with 7 homers, 35 RBI, and 12 doubles splitting time between Springfield (AA) and Memphis (AAA) last year.
The left-handed hitting and throwing Jones will be entering his seventh professional season in 2012, all of which coming in the minor leagues.
He was named the organization's player of the year in 2008 by the Cardinals after batting .316/.407/.483 with 13 homers, 49 RBI and 24 stolen bases.
Who knows? Maybe Jones will turn into a David Freese-like player in the future for the Redlegs.

The Reds have signed former Cardinals Top 5 prospect Daryl Jones. He isn’t quite the same prospect as he once was, as his speed isn’t thought to be enough to stay in center or have quite the bat for the corner. He seems a little like a Chris Dickerson type of prospect, with slightly less speed and a little less arm.
Usually a topic reserved for Wednesday gets pushed to...

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...

No Winter Ball for Chapman
From John Fay and the Enquirer:
Aroldis Chapman is back throwing pain-free, but Winter Ball is no longer part of his offseason plan.
“We’ve decided against sending him to Puerto Rico,” Walt Jocketty said. “He’s on a strength-and-conditioning program in Arizona. He’ll go to Florida after that and continue to work out.”
Chapman made two appearances in the Arizona Fall...
The case for bringing back Cordero
Those Cincinnati Reds fans who thought closer Francisco Cordero was the antichrist, well, if they watched the postseason they may have greatly altered their warped thinking.Nearly every team in the postseason struggled mightily to close games.Just ask the Texas Rangers, who twice in Game 6 were one strike away from the World Series trophy. They are still looking for that strike ...

Robinson the best Red ever
Eliminate the Charlie Hustle aspect, and what's left? A whole bunch of hits, and a couple of all-time World Series victories. Let's not demean any of that. But I'm going with Frank Robinson as the greatest of all the Cincinnati Reds . Not Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan - or going way back, Edd Roush. Frank Robinson hasn't played with the Reds for 46 years, wasn...
1975 World Series better than 2011?

I was not even close to being born yet when the Reds beat the Red Sox in seven games in 1975 to win the World Series, but any Reds fan, or even baseball fan for that matter, pretty much knows what happened in that series. Carlton Fisk appeared "to will" a walk off home run fair in Game 6, and then the Reds came back the next night to win Game 7 and the Series. That series...
