Took arms in rounds 2 and 3. They won't trade or sign any free agents to boost the offense and the outfield. Stock piling shortstops at every level in the pipeline. While shortstops are the most athletic players typically on a team who can transition to another position. The Reds big idea of position versatility is to slide a SS over to 2B or 3B. Very few shift to the outfield and even then it is the prospects who likely are fringe Major Leaguers at best. Won't go out and draft a bat fresh out of college. I was really hoping the Reds would have selected the Texas A&M power bat Jace LaViolette who can play all 3 outfield spots. Cleveland landed him.

I do really like this pick. Most HRs in College Baseball this past season. Draws comparisons to Cody Bellinger.

^Pagan has done a good job as the closer this year. Getting setup relievers for high-leverage situations before Pagen comes into the game is the weakness of the bullpen.

Last night was just more proof of how far this team really is from being contenders. Instead of sparking urgency, all it did was give the front office another excuse to fall back on their cheapskate ways. Now they’ve got their green light to sell off over the next week and punt the season.

Cincinnati goes out and piss away a series to a Nationals team you absolutely have to beat after a massive series win on the road vs the Mets. Meanwhile, the Reds are in desperate need of real, Major League talent which they clearly can't develop on their own to win at a high level, but the front office will just sit on their *** and do nothing.

Krall will keep hyping up Hunter Greene returning to the rotation like it’s some kind of blockbuster move, until Greene’s next hangnail puts him back on the shelf for the remainder of the season. This front office isn’t serious. And no one should take them as if they are.
