2016 Cincinnati Redlegs

Post by Orange and Brown »

May as well start it now so we can get it all out of our system before spring training starts lol

The Reds will suck again next year. Chapman will be traded by the all star break, Phillips will be gone by then as well.
If they can get a good deal for Bruce, he will be gone as well.
The farm system is pretty empty (except for a few guys they picked up).

God hates Cincinnati..............
We will never get back to the Series :(

I'm a diehard fan, go to several games every year and watch every game I can on tv whether they suck or not. But, let's be realistic they'll be bad again. #1 and #2 starting pitchers gone. But, I'm pretty confident in the offense for next year!

Catcher - Mesoraco (if his hip holds up)
1B - Joey Votto
2B - Brandon Phillips
3B - Todd Frazier
SS - Zach Cozart (was smoking the ball last year before he got hurt).
LF - Eugenio Suarez (started at short for the season after Cozart got hurt, showed he can hit bombs and hit a high average, they'll find a spot for him).
CF - Billy Hamilton (if he could hit about .270 he will still about 150 bases).
RF - Jay Bruce (needs to get back to his big slugging days).

Not sure about the starting pitching (lots of questions with the age).

Bullpen will be better than last year (sean marshall coming back, having manny parra for a whole season!)

Get ride of Brian Price!!!! He is an idiot!!

They need to fire "Pottymouth Price" and get a decent manager. Sadly, the Reds have become a stepping stone to step up to a team with more talent and resources...

Several test have expressed a high interest in Chapman. Hopefully we don't just give him away for a bag of balls and a couple brooms. :(

Their are reliable sources saying The Todd Father may end up traded as well.

I've heard both of these, don't get rid of Flava Fraz! He kept the seats full even though we sucked last year! Heard that Bruce has some interest as well.

I would guess a starting rotation of DeSclafani, Iglesias, Bailey (when healthy lol) 4/5 will be up for grabs between several guys. Lorenzen, Lamb, Finnegan, Cingrani, Stephenson, Sampson & maybe a vet. Have heard a possible reunion with Bronson Arroyo.

I really think this shows that we won't be competitive again for 3-5 years.

According to reports, the deal that sends Chapman to the Dodgers is on hold. After running a check on him they found out that earlier this year he fired a gun and choked girlfried. So this deal is TBA later.

Don't expect to win more than about 50 games or so for about 5 years The Reds trade away All-Star 3B Todd Frazier to the White Sox in a 3-team,7-player trade with the Dodgers as well. The reds acquire three prospects from the Dodgers in the trade.

Brandon Phillips is also rumored to be on the market, the main team being the Nationals.

You HAVE to tear it down to build it back up. I am not completely against the haul we got.Peraza and Schebler will play for the Big club this year. I liked T odd. But....The Missile and that nonsense has put a complete rebuild on hold. Hopefully they can shed Phillips to somewhere he will agree to go to. THE BIGGEST CANCER in any CLUBHOUSE in professional sports right now. And has been. Has that No-trade clause which is hell. No team wants Jay Bruce. Great person and I know Walt and Dickie dont want to give him away. But...Nobody wants him and he is an ENERGY VAMPIRE to this club with all his struggles.
