Reds/MLB

[jacobkdoyle]

Doing the math, I am seeing maybe a problem but just maybe. Can the reds sign every one even if Greene would sign for 6.5 mill. It is a great draft with two pitchers in the teens wanting more money. What if the reds do not sign Hunter and sign everyone else. would that be all bad ?? They would have two picks in the top 10 next year with their record and pick third for Hunter Greene.

I can't imagine they would draft Greene if they didn't think he'd sign.

Reading quotes after the game, probably have seen last of Bronson

He will sign. They have until July 7th.

Saw this on Twitter a few days ago:

Joey Votto last 162 games:
.359/.459/.638, 118 Runs, 208 Hits, 41 Doubles, 2 Triples, 39 HR, 117 RBI, 112 BB, 81 K #Reds

Stephenson is bad. Bonilla shouldn't be in the rotation.

Per Doug Gray Re: Stephenson

Last 4 games 21.1 innings, 2 walks 26 K's

Still needs to work up giving up longball

Article states, when he pitched regularly he found success.

If stephenson can continue to find the strike zone he will be a asset to the ML rotation. He seems to be getting it turned around with regular work.

Disco is also getting close. Having some of our better arms available for the second half should be interesting

Castillo
Bailey
Disco
Feldman
And one from a group of Stephenson, Garrrett,Reed, Romano,

 

[AZ BEARCAT]

Raisel Iglesias

I hope they do not trade him.

You can now take Feldman off the list. No brakes for the reds, Can not even trade him now.

I'm in the 2 week long finals as the 1 seed in the CBS league I'm in. I'm up by 29 now and I have way more pitchers lined up. Looking good for a championship!

 

[david aka the TYZ]

I won one league and am in two finals this week and a semifinals this week. Finished 5th and 6th in my other two. Gonna lose the semifinals this week unless a miracle occurs. The two finals I'm trailing close in one and have a decent lead in the other. Happy I won at least one league, two would be nice, three would be awesome. Baseball is such a long season and fantasy is no different....just wait and wait till September and cross your fingers your players are healthy and playing well.

Pitchers and Catchers report today. March madness is right around the corner and we have the number 5 team in the country to root for.

My reds have gotten off to the worst start in my lifetime. Couple that with this horrible weather and it is shaping up to be a very miserable summer. The good news is I am off to a 2-0 start in my fantasy league.

Will the Reds ever be good again? I remember growing up how dominant they were every year. Seems like they suck every year now. And I can’t understand for the life of me why they committed so much money to Joey Votto. He’s a very good player but they are handcuffed by his contract.

They say 1 WAR is worth $8M. Based on that, Votto was worth $60M last year.

The contracts that kill them are Homer Bailey (who has been alright so far this year) and Devin Mesoraco. They are making over $34M combined this year. $9M more than Votto.

Also doesn't help that most of these young pitchers are struggling to break through.

Joey Votto and his contract are the very last thing I blame for the Reds being terrible. Imagine where they'd be without him. They might fall out of last place.

How many teams in the league? Seems deeper than mine.

just 12 of us. I got in about 3 years ago and we rarely have anyone drop out.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

I think Romano is starting to find his footing a little bit. Bailey, Castillo, Mahle, and Romano could be an alright 1-4 for now.
