Tim Belcher ... because the Reds traded Eric Davis in order to get him. I probably should have hated Bobby Kelly for the same reasons, but I was never a huge Paul O'Neill fan and I actually enjoyed watching Bobby play. Belcher, OTOH, would have had to put up Pedro-like numbers in order for me to forget that he came at the expense of the most gifted OF I had ever seen.
Dick Wagner!!!
Bob Boone!!
Mike LaCoss
Danny Graves :evil:
Does Jimmy Haynes at least deserve honorable mention?
Bob Boone
Aaron Boone
Danny Graves
Ron Oester
Jimmy Haynes
Pat Pacillo
Rick Mahler
Larry Biitner
Todd Benzinger
Ray Olmedo (lack of skills overshadowed by perceived "hustle")
Clay Carroll, drove me nuts in the late innings. Didn't care much for Tom Hume as a pitcher for the same reason.
I find 'hate' to be a bit strong a word, but if you're asking my LEAST favorite Reds of all time...
Willie Green
Jimmy Haynes
Dennis Reyes
Deion Sanders
Honorable mention to Wade Rowdon, if only because when I was collecting baseball cards in '87 i got about a zillion of his cards of him standing in his warm-up jacket with that lost expression on his face.
I got so sick of Wade Rowdon.

For some reason (don't ask me why) Larry Bitner and Mike Vail are inseperable to me.Quote:

Russell Branyan, I have personal reasons for this. My Mom is one of the nicest people in the world and a she was a manager of a card store. Anyway a few years ago Branyan comes in to her store was a total jerk to my Mom. He was basically upset because they were busy and he couldn't be waited on immediately and he was upset that my Mom didn't recognize him. He was so nasty and rude he made my Mom cry so I will always hate Russell Branyan.
