March 23, 201016 yr How about Mark Wohlers? He was a flame thrower in Atlanta. I think Chipper Jones was sleeping with his wife & Wohlers was unable to throw a strike. From what I recall, he came to Cincinnati and did fairly well. Wohlers had the fastest clocked fastball until Joel Zumaya broke the record fairly recently.

I think he had Steve Blass disease...same thing that affected Steve Sax, Chuck Knoblauch and Mackey Sasser.

March 23, 201016 yr Tony Cloninger,a longtime starter for the Braves in the 60's,Pitch for the Reds in the early 70's.
March 24, 201016 yr A trio of pretty good closers: Trevor Hoffman Lee Smith Jeff Brantley Hoffman was in the Reds farm system, but never played for the Reds.
March 28, 201016 yr Eric Milton .... Still leaves a sour taste I got to meet Dave Dombrowski (GM, President, et al. of the Detroit Tigers) shortly after they won the World Series. I was privileged to actually go into his office & meet with him for a short time before the Tigers played the Cardinals in a World Series rematch of the year before. I told him that Cincinnati had a "well-kept secret named Eric Milton" that he should pursue. He responded, "You know, it's funny you say that. I was just talking to John Allen the other day. With a contract like that, I think Milton is going to remain a well-kept secret in Cincinnati for a LONG time." I tried my best.
February 14, 201115 yr Rick Mahler - Will forever be a Brave in my mind, but spent two years in Cincinnati, and was on their championship team in '90. Did he ever look odd without that beard?
