I didn't see this list last year so I don't know if it is more or less, but for a credible group like Baseball Prospectus to say the Reds have 7 good or better prospects is hopeful IMO. 4 are pitchers, 2 look like cornerstone bats and the other was last years 1st round pick.

Many of these websites are fly by night operations that know no more than we do, but BP knows what its doing.

In March of 2006 the same author said in summary:
- the Reds system is awful
- After Bailey, Bruce and Wood the list is depleted of good players.
- The Reds lack any players at the upper levels who project as regulars.

I'd say having 7 guys considered good is a big leap forward. Bailey and Votto are upper levels now.
