REDS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Player Profile #55: Drew Stubbs | OF | CIN
For Drew Stubbs, it’s all about the strikeouts. If he didn’t whiff so much (11.5 SwStr% in 2011) and strikeout so much (30.1 K%) he could hit for a much better batting average and, in effect, significantly improve his fantasy value. It’s rare to see someone with a career .335 BABIP have such a low career batting average (.251), but that’s what Stubbs has been...

Reds have what it takes to make run in 2012
Last year Arizona was baseball's sleeper, a preseason pick to finish in last place that emerged as the NL West champion. The year before, Texas ended the Angels' run in the AL West, and wound up losing the World Series to San Francisco.
Colorado was a surprise NL wild card in 2007 and 2009, and Tampa Bay stunned not only the AL East but all of baseball, advancing to the...

Law ranks Reds farm system 19th
Keith Law of ESPN Insider recently ranked all 30 MLB teams' farm systems based on players currently in their organization. Due to the attrition from various trades this offseason, Cincinnati's system took a bit of a slide from prior years. However, the Redlegs still came in at a modest 19th on the list. Here's the excerpt taken from the article about the Reds:

Ryan Ludwick Excited to Play for Reds, Blames Padres for Struggles
Ryan Ludwick signed a one year contract worth $2.5 million with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, and for those who say it may not be a big deal, fear not, my friends.
You see, it was not Ludwick who struggled since being traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the San Diego Padres midway through the 2010 season. It was his surroundings.
“Playing in San Diego screwed me up....

Reds sign OF Ludwick, LH Francis
The Reds have made a couple moves to improve their depth, signing outfielder Ryan Ludwick to a one-year contract and left-handed starter Jeff Francis to a minor league deal.
The 33-year-old Ludwick and the Reds have a mutual option for 2013. The outfielder batted .237 last season in 139 games with the Padres and Pirates, hitting 13 homers with 75 RBIs. Ludwick also has played for...

Stock Drop: What went wrong in 2011
Today I wanted to look at the some of the biggest drops from last years Top 40 prospects list and try to figure out what happened and if there were any reasons to see it coming.
Coming into the season Junior Arias was ranked 12th and coming off of a season where he hit .287/.336/.482 for the Arizona League Reds. Arias has some tools, particularly with the bat. He moved from shortstop...

Latos ready to go the distance for the Reds
Even though right-hander Mat Latos knows most of the Reds as opponents, he practically leaped at the chance to fly almost all way across the country and meet them for the first time as teammates.
How important was it to him? He and his wife, Dallas, spent fewer than 24 hours in Cincinnati before climbing back onto a plane and heading back home to the West Coast.
Lato was invited...

10 Questions Regarding the 2012 Cincinnati Reds (Part I)
Spring Training in Goodyear, AZ, is right around the corner. After a somewhat surprising 2010 season that included a divisional crown and playoff berth, the 2011 Cincinnati Reds followed up with a disappointing year. Many pundits and analysts had predicted another NL Central championship, but the Reds faltered the second half of the year and could never catch the playoff-bound Brewers...

Valdez solves a Reds' issue at shortstop
The Reds' trade for infielder Wilson Valdez was not to protect them in 19-inning games, but it can't hurt. Valdez pitched a scoreless 19th for Philadelphia to earn a victory against the Reds on May 25.
The Reds traded left-hander Jeremy Horst to Philly to get Valdez.
Valdez is the utility infielder who can play shortstop that the Reds were seeking.
Valdez, 33, hit .249...
