Tuesday news and notes

Found March 12, 2013 on Reds Minor Leagues:
PLAYERS: Tony Cingrani,  Billy Hamilton,  Robert Stephenson,  Daniel Corcino,  Didi Gregorius,  John Sickels,  Todd Frazier,  Aroldis Chapman
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds,  Arizona Diamondbacks
There are a lot of things on tap for today that are worth talking about, so let’s jump right in. SABR held their Analytical Conference last week and have started adding podcasts from the different forums/discussions/presentations. While I have probably listened to 6 hours worth of presentations, the one that I want to point you guys to is the Player Development Panel. It is just over an hour long and 58 MB to download (so you may not want to download it from a phone). One of the more interesting discussion points for me was when they discussed how to handle the workloads of guys in the minor leagues, especially within the first two seasons. Go download it and give it a listen when you get a chance. It is well worth it.   Tony Cingrani comes in at #69 on the Fangraphs list. Marc Hulet at Fangraphs has up his Top 100 Prospects. He has four Reds on the list: 30. Billy Hamilton – OF 32. Robert Stephenson – RHP 69. Tony Cingrani – LHP 71. Daniel Corcino – RHP Hulet is the highest I hav...

In brief: Votto’s return, sadder but wiser

Via Red Hot Mama  |  March 11, 2013
Last Game The Reds were victorious over the White Sox yesterday, winning 7-3. Johnny Cueto started for the Reds and wasn’t that great: 2 runs (earned) on 3 hits in 4.0 innings of work.

Projecting the Pensacola Blue Wahoos roster

Via Reds Minor Leagues  |  March 13, 2013
Infield Catcher - Tucker Barnhart Barnhart will likely return to Pensacola for a second go of things after struggling in his initial time with the Blue Wahoos. The 22-year-old hit just .200/.262/.292 in 41 games last year at the Double-A level. He really struggled offensively, but he was very strong on the defensive side of things where he is among the best in all of the minors....

Yoenis Cespedes reunites with mother, family after stressful year

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  March 13, 2013
For over a year, Oakland A’s outfielder Yoenis Cespedes had hardly any idea of where his mother, Estella Milanes, and 11 of his family members were or where they might end up. Cespedes defected from Cuba to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2011 to pursue a career in professional baseball. The 26-year-old has succeeded, but prior to this week he had done so at the expense...

Via Baseball Professor  |  March 11, 2013
Jay Bruce will be just 26 years old on April 3 and he already has two 30-homer seasons and 134 homers for his career. His runs, home run, RBI, and stolen base totals have gone up every since over the last four years, and he’s taken on an increasingly important role in the Cincinnati lineup. [...]

Reds 7, White Sox 3

Via AP on Fox  |  March 10, 2013
Shin-Soo Choo got four hits and Todd Frazier homered Sunday as the Cincinnati Reds beat a Chicago White Sox split squad 7-3. Frazier had three hits and Cesar Izturis drove in two runs. Reds starter Johnny Cueto was erratic in his second spring start. He walked three and hit another, but completed four innings and gave up just two runs. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd allowed four...

Rival scout: Chapman should close

Via MLB Buzz  |  March 12, 2013
  Reds left-hander Aroldis Chapman is destined to remain a closer, at least in the opinion of one rival scout who saw him start a minor-league game on Monday.   “I hope they do start him, but they’re crazy if they do,” said the scout, who works for another National League club. “It’s Joba Chamberlain all over again.   “His velocity dropped off in the second inning...

An update on how 20 former Reds are doing this spring

Via Redlegs Review  |  March 12, 2013
Jared Burton has resurrected his career with MIN Once a Red, always a Red. Isn't that how the saying goes? Although none of these players are currently in the Reds organization, they were at one time, and if you're anything like me, you're probably curious to know how they're doing. With that being said, here is a spring update on some of the notable ex...

Catch the Future

Via reds.scout.com  |  March 13, 2013
One year ago multiple players stepped up with surprising performances to help the Reds win 97 games. One disappointment was rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco. He’s still figures prominently into the Reds future plans and the way he’s hitting in spring training gives reason to think that he’s ready to leave his 2012 campaign in the rear view mirror.
