The Final Spring Roster
John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer checked in with Cincinnati Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty today about the status of the roster.
“We’ll meet again Wednesday and review it. But I think we’re pretty well set. We’ve got 57, 58 guys. It’s a good mix.”
Which, of course, means no last-minute addition of Roy Oswalt. As much as I would be interested in having ...

FSOhio to air Cincinnati Reds reruns (if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!)
Yes, for the moment everyone is occupied with the Super Bowl. I’m no football fan, but I’m as wrapped up in it as anyone. It helps when Super Bowl Village is five blocks away from your office. But soon that will be all over with, and then what? March Madness doesn’t even start till June these days!
Enter Fox Sport Ohio with the cure: reruns of old Reds games and...

You, Too, Can Enter To Be Randomly Selected To Spend Money
Despite the 60-degree weather in my Midwestern neck of the woods, it is actually the dead of winter. And as the calendar flips over to the shortest month of the year–with all new, less shortening this year–once again the Cincinnati Reds announce their now annual sweepstakes for Opening Day tickets.
Now lest you think this is a drawing for actual tickets, no, it’...

Reds Caravan 2012 – West Leg Pix
Yesterday we got up early to stand in line for some Reds autographs. It was a pretty weak line-up, but Nick Masset isn’t bad to look at and maybe that Billy Hamilton will be the biggest name of all in a few years. Plus, it’s always a treat to hang out with … [visit site to read more]

A Few Reds Transactions: Wilson Valdez and Jeff Francis
The Cincinnati Reds were busy yesterday, making two deals to add depth to the club.
First, they traded left-handed pitcher Jeremy Horst to the Philadelphia Phillies for utility infielder Wilson Valdez. And really, “depth” is the nicest way to describe Valdez.
Next season, he’ll be 34 years-old. He’s never hit well, posting a career .290 on-base percentage...

Phillips falls short of Gibby
It’s been painfully quiet on the Reds news front lately, hasn’t it? If there were anything real to talk about, I wouldn’t be screwing around with second-place finishes in fake awards.
But there isn’t and I am, so here we go.

Reds announce tryouts for the “John Morrell Reds Rally Pack”
I was going to post about the fact that the Reds avoided arbitration by coming to agreements with Homer Bailey, Bill Bray, and Paul Janish tonight. That is, I was until I went to Reds.com and came upon this press release calling for applications to be a Reds Rally Pack rallier.
CINCINNATI (Jan. 17, 2012) – The John Morrell Reds Rally Pack entertainment squad is looking for...

Tony Perez’ Advice to Barry Larkin
John Erardi of the Cincinnati Enquirer has a nice piece up today where he talks to Hall of Famer Tony Perez about what is about to change for recently elected Hall of Famer Barry Larkin.
It isn’t how you think of yourself that changes, Perez said.
It is how others think of you.
That is the biggest thing that will change for Larkin, … [visit site to read more]

Big HOF Announcement on MLB
Tomorrow’s the big day when we find out whether Barry Larkin has finally gotten good enough to be put into the Hall of Fame. He fell just short last year, but I’m sure he’s been training hard for the last 12 months and has finally gotten himself up to snuff.

Want to give up your life for a year to live blog baseball?
Remember a few years ago when there was a drawing to win tickets to the World Series on the condition that you live-blogged the whole thing? I entered that contest, but I didn’t ever actually see the blog. I assumed it was because the winner was too beer-soaked to type, but today I learned about another contest that results in blogging responsibilities that I’ve never...

Chris Jaffe, the big giant brain behind The Hardball Times, has a whole system he uses to predict the likelihood of candidates getting voted into the Hall of Fame, based on things like how they polled last year, how many guys are on the ballot, and how many guys are in their last year of eligibility.

Adding some sass to the starting rotation
When I went to make the Christmas card with the photos of the new guys, I did a Google search for Mat Latos and that was basically my first impression of the guy. I’ve been pretty swamped with an MBA program for Latos’ whole career, so I wasn’t exactly in the know.
