Who's your favourite current Red?
Just curious as to how this board feels in general towards the current Reds. No bashing or anything like that.
Mine is Mike Leake. I've just always liked him...he seems like a pretty cool guy, made a really amazing leap into the major leagues bypassing the minors completely and has pitched fairly well relative to his experience (IMO) since joining the Reds. He relies on control and a variety of pitches as opposed to having any real elite quality (besides his control, which is actually elite). He's also a pretty damned good hitter for a pitcher.
I know he's not a sexy pick like Bruce, Latos or Votto, but yeah he's my personal fav!

Favorite on the field is Cueto. Hamilton was up there last September. Favorite in my interactions with players off the field, Bruce.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Jay Bruce. followed him all the way through the minors, and his first 2 weeks in the bigs were electric!

Chris Heisey. I am probably alone on this one.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Probably Votto, though I'm not nearly as attached to individual players now compared to when I was a kid.

DatDude
He went off the rail a bit last year with his comments but the guy just plays good baseball. GG, SS, AS, Bat him in the 1 or the 9 or anywhere in between...and he just does it. Plus he's a tweetin' fool.

Todd Frazier. NJ represent lol.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Cueto, though, if he loses the funky delivery, I may re-consider.
If Hamilton has an OBP above .340, he may become my favorite player since Rickey Henderson.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Leake, votto and Cueto. Agree with the OP.

I get the opportunity to see BP perform ballet 150+ times a year, and all of the fan friendly stuff goes a long way with me. Love him.
Arroyo was my strong #2, when he's on, few are more fun to watch.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Mine has been Bruce since was called up. My wife's is Leake. She swears its not because she thinks he's cute.
Re: Who's your favourite current Red?
Just on a personal level it is easily Frazier.
