Glad to see Stephenson signed; just wish the Reds would not make us wait till the last minute.
Everyone else seemed to be signing last minute this year so I'm not surprised we had to wait for Stephenson too. Glad they got him signed! :)
Worth the wait to the bewitching hour.
Let's hope we have struck Treasure Island, not opened The Wrong Box.
I love it that the Reds keep stocking the pipeline with pitching.
Bumper Sticker Idea.
"You Can Never Have To Much Pitching"
The whole idea of a "slot" has to be one of the most idiotic ideas anyone has come up with. Virtually every team had to go above slot in order to get their picks signed. And it seems as if the Reds, especially, had to go over slot to sign most of their picks. What's the point of a slot?
Apparently the Nationals gave supplemental pick Brian Goodwin a $3 million bonus and the Pirates gave 2nd round pick Josh Bell $5 million which, if true, would be a record for a player not taken in the 1st round. So, I can't complain about the Reds giving Stephenson $2 million.
Anyone have good info' on this guy? From the little bit that I have heard/read, I'm thinking maybe a Bailey type?
No major league contract this time.
Any early guesses on the timeline? When should we expect him in the Cincy rotation? I'm guessing 2016 or so.
