Jason Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 How good would the Reds be if they still had Cueto, Frazier, and Chapman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as good as they were last year....(answer not very). 3 players don't make a team 25 games under 500 a 500 team. Trading all 3 was the right call.

Didn't they lose a lot of games in the 8th or 9th with the bull pen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team would have been the same as the 2015 team with those guys and the 2015 team sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jay Bruce is hitting now, and we did not have Duvall all of last year, and Cozart is healthy and playing well. Plus remove the worst pitcher in our rotation and replace him with Cueto. We probably would not be contenders, but I don't think we would "suck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's no way those guys were staying long term so it was the right thing to do if not even a little too late. time to get rid of Bruce while he's an all star and get solid value from him. Maybe cozart as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 So when you have a fire sale arent you eventually supposed to come out of it better with some time? How long do we have to wait before they dont suck? The management on this team is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The farm really doesn't have much on it right now. A few top-100 prospects, but nothing incredibly promising. It's going to be awhile. Plus the Cubs are going to own the central for the next 5-6 seasons at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Lucid| Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 It's the brutal nature of being a fan of one of MLB's development (small market) teams. Build for 5-6 years so you get a window for 3, rinse and repeat. How I wish baseball was more like the NFL in structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 JB is killing the ball right now. If they trade him I hope they get a great prospect for him. But I kind of hope they keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Crazy that the Yankees traded Chapman already. (Yeah I'm a couple of days behind, and it's not really Reds talk, sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think the Yanks FINALLY realized you can't continue paying out massive long term contracts to free agents every year then trade away any good prospects you have. Eventually it catches up with you and is the reason they haven't won anything in years. They'll be down for a few years trying to rebuild. The Cubs are here to stay, they'll win the central for the foreseeable future. I don't really have a problem with them and actually hope they win it all this year. They deserve it.
