Jason Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 If you could add any former Reds player in his prime to this team, who would it be and why? I know who mine would be and will add it later. but want to see who others would pick first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Elflocko| Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 That's a tough one. Considering the young pitchers we have, I'd have to say Johnny Bench.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#22 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Barry Larkin would give what I think is the weakest spot on the team a good all-around upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 For me this is a no-brainer. Johnny Bench. Best defensive catcher of all time. He would handle this young pitching staff very well and he would give us a clutch right handed power hitter who would be a true cleanup hitter.

JC Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Adam Dunn *ducks rocks* But not really. I haven't been around enough. But i would take Barry Larkin cause he tried to throw me a ball when i was like five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an RBI machine. He is what this team needs. Plus he is the kind of leader this team could use and was a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
