Is this based on what the player did as a Red or on what they did in their entire career?

 

Red.

Hold on. I somehow read that as STARTING in 1970. I need to reconsider.

 

Yeah, couldn't believe that it took 13 posts til someone mentioned Frank Robinson. He was the first one that I thought of. Big Klu was second.

Probably go Bret Boone over Phillips as well.

 

Always liked Bret Boone but I don't think I can get behind that. Especially since Boone was a cheater, not with the Reds, but when he went to Seattle.

Are you sure he just discovered PEDs after he left the Reds? You don't think that him jumping from 7 homers to 24 in his last 2 seasons in Cincinnati might raise a red flag?

I'd go with Cueto over Rijo. Maybe Taubensee over Oliver.

Bret Boone was GOOD. IMO Phillips is great and I'm not even that big of a fan of him. I feel like he'd be more of a superstar if he were in a bigger market.

I saw an article online today that said coming into this season Elias sports has Brandon Phillips ranked as the greatest defensive second basemen of all time.

Granted I've watched BP more than most, but I'd have a hard time disputing that. He is amazing to watch defensively, and he's almost criminal that he doesn't have more Gold Gloves to prove it.

1B Votto

2B BP

SS Larkin

CF Eric The Red

SP Cueto

 

Those are my locks...

I will admit that I have no idea what his statistics were his last couple years with the Reds. What I do remember is that he looked huge in that Mariners uniform compared to his Reds uniform.

No way Reggie Sanders makes this list over the Cobra.
