2016 Cincinnati Redlegs

[Omega]

Votto's career OPS is 4th among active players. Behind Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, and Miggy Cabrera. He's among the best offensive players in all of baseball.

Oh and he's the best player at getting on baseball. His .421 OBP is tops among all active players and is 17th all time.

He's worth the money.

Of course as of this date, the Reds are 22 games back and 23 under .500 and it is not yet the all-star break. Votto's stats really do not matter except for trade bait for prospects to further reduce the team payroll. You know, shared major league tv money with a AAA salary structure. The owners can make money with a crappy on field product.

Stats after the big Money was paid ? Stats from there on ?

Duvall makes the All-Star team, very well deserving.

[bighead]

At this time he would be the only Red that is worthy.

Jay Bruce and Zach Cozart would not have been bad choices either.

[bighead]

Not all stars ! Do you no Cueto is 12-1 now ! WOW

[bighead]

Cueto 13-1 what a start ! Price is not getting fired ! What is wrong in Cinn. He must be cheap labor ! LOL

[danicalifornia]

0% chance that Cueto would've signed long term with Cincinnati.

[Chieftain2009]

0% chance that Cueto would've signed long term with Cincinnati.

I remember them even saying he wasn't going to. So you might as well get something for him rather than lose him for nothing at the end of the season.

[bighead]

All the money Bailey got ? maybe ? GM got his pay day ! Cheap head coach ? Hell Barry Larkin wanted the job / no way

[Chieftain2009]

Jay Bruce named as an injury replacement today on the All-Star team.

[bighead]

Phillips 2-4 hurt !

[bighead]

Another bad day for the Reds !

[bighead]

From bad to worse !

[Chieftain2009]

From bad to worse !

I wouldn't get your hopes up for them improving this year! Here soon is when we'll probably start seeing trades.

[bighead]

I 'm a die heart Reds fan and Steelers fan ! Now Cueto the starter all Star game and Bailey WOW ! Sad for the Reds .

[Chieftain2009]

Idk why you keep bringing up Cueto!! He told them he was leaving after his contract was up, HE was not coming back. So they had to get something for him.

[bighead]

It's the " L " word! I'm tired of it ! Get a Coach in there and GM that can make something happen ! That's why the good players run off.

[bighead]

Or leave !

[bighead]

Plus Cueto knew they did not have the money to sign him because of Bailey! And Votto ! hope they get to .500 2nd half.
