2016 Cincinnati Redlegs

[TheFlyingDutchman]

The Reds did not get near enough for Frazier or Chapman. Compare those trades to what they got for Cueto and Leake at the deadline last year and you have to be disappointed. With the cloud hanging over Chapman you can understand trading him now but not Frazier. My Daughter and future Son in Law both worked Redsfest for the Reds earlier this month and Frazier told the owner and Walt he wanted to be a Red forever.

NY is show time I always thought they might make a play. But Bruce is the player that will be hard to unload along with BP.

[bighead]

Never who have got rid of Frazier my opinion

[bighead]

Never would have gotten rid of Frazier my opinion

[Chieftain2009]

I'm not surprised at all they traded Chapman, it was coming sooner or later, either at the trade deadline or during this winter. They'll dump Phillips off at some point for chump change probably. At this point I think this will be their lineup.

Catcher - Devin Mesoraco
1st Base - Joey Votto
2nd Base - Brandon Phillips
3rd Base - Eugenio Suarez
Shortstop - Zack Cozart
Left Field - Scott Schebler/Ivan de Jesus
Center Field - Billy Hamilton
Right Field - Jay Bruce

Adam Duval played really good at end of season I think he will get a chance in left.

[Chieftain2009]

I think left field is the only spot up for grabs. Whoever has the better Spring will get the starting spot on opening day.

[bighead]

Who will be the 2016 strike out king. Bruce or Hamilton is my bet.lol

[bighead]

There is know out field pos up for grabs is a joke that was most of the problem
D in cf nothing in left or right.

[EasternDspy]

What?

[bighead]

Bruce should of been 1st to hit the road CF has got to hit LF is a must bad move on Frazier Homer might not pitch again and ST Louis has pick two Reds up now Chapman was the best move.

[bighead]

The out field was most of the problem not hitting know one is gone.

[Chieftain2009]

I think Hamilton will break out this year, as long as he keeps the ball on the ground and stops trying to hit homers. If he raises his average, he's an All-Star in CF. Bruce needs to be more consistent if they are keeping him. He has the potential just not the confidence.

[bighead]

Bruce they can't give him away he will start the 2016 season as a Red bench him.

[whompascat]

Gonna be a bad year for the reds

[thecommonwealth]

I like what the reds are doing. I was a little disappointed in not getting more in return for ole chappy but with the investigations being held over his head, price tag dropped. I like selling Todd because I think he will regress this year (his second half stats showed that). Pitching is young, and has a lot of upside. Can they move Bruce and Phillips? I want to see Phillips gone but with the no trade clause, he's staying in Cincy. They need to clear as much money as possible, this next FA market will be very very plentiful!! Can Devin catch? Im thinking leave him in LF (so he can get more plate appearances), and platoon C position like they did this past season.

[Chieftain2009]

Pena is gone, he signed with the Cardinals. So it's either Mesoraco or Barnhardt behind the plate. Barnhardt can hit, I wouldn't mind moving Mes. to left field, as long as he can field the position. Cozart will be at SS, Suarez to 3rd? They have to have Suarez in the lineup, he has some work to do in fielding, but holy cow can he rake.

[The Inspector]

The young arms have HUGE upside

[bighead]

Never played LF in his life in Mesoraco LOL o

[Chieftain2009]

Never played LF in his life in Mesoraco LOL o

They experimented with it a few games in Louisville last year coming off his injury. It didn't turn out too well.
