April 13, 201610 yr Author Not necessarily. You draft based on tools and potential. A lot of times they don't pan out. They haven't done a good job that's for sure, but I also feel their primary focus for way too long has been on pitchers. They're starting to shift the other direction now. It's no secret the minors is lacking position players outside of Winker for the last 2-3 years. Like UK said, they had a major focus on pitching in past drafts. Pitching does nothing for you if you cant put the ball in play on offense. All this talk of rebuild and who we going to rebuild with, MJ the beer vendor guy in RF?

April 13, 201610 yr Hamilton CF Suarez 3B Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Schebler LF De Jesus SS Barnhart C Simon P Just send down Holt already, and call up Peraza. He should get enough bats between CF and SS. And yesterday's day off must have really wore out Meso.
April 13, 201610 yr Just send down Holt already, and call up Peraza. He should get enough bats between CF and SS. And yesterday's day off must have really wore out Meso. If he can start 4-5 days a week I agree. I don't see that happening so I'd leave him down.

Meso has looked really lost at the plate and his defense has been suspect. How close is the next Cather from being ready? Stephenson or does Reds still have Wallach.
April 13, 201610 yr Meso has looked really lost at the plate and his defense has been suspect. How close is the next Cather from being ready? Stephenson or does Reds still have Wallach. 6 game into the season and you are counting Meso out? :lol2: Stephenson isn't close.
April 13, 201610 yr Louisville Bats @LouisvilleBats Final line on Cody Reed: 4.2ip, 4h, 2er, 2bb, 6k. He threw 91 pitches, 51 for strikes in his Triple-A debut. He can not get the win.
