Re: Fan Graph's baseball has Reds as 24th best organization

Not really. The author's point was that the Reds seem to be at a crossroads without an obvious course to follow. It's legitimate to wonder what Jocketty is planning to do IMHO-we've spent alot of time doing just that on Redszone.
The future of no organization is guaranteed, nor especially well understood.

The lazy may not know that the Reds have a pretty talented young core and have announced a shift towards building speed and defense into their roster. Likewise, the lazy may not know the club has shifted gears dramatically in Latin America, going from non-players to spending as much as anyone there last year. Just to name the most obvious harbingers of the future in Cincinnati.

So, Cameron limits his evaluation pretty much to a judgment about how much the FO relies on analytics. And what does he really know about that? Just very little there, so far as I can see.
