I try to be positive, but man, there just doesn't appear to be any impact bats in the Reds system. I just don't see anyone who jumps out at me as someone who could really help this team in the middle of the order in a year or two. And with the contracts given out there isn't any hope of a big free agent. I don't know, maybe it was just today's dissapointing loss, but I'm not real confident about this organizations long term offense (meaning through 2014).

Even prospects like HRod and Didi don't really project to be star type of players or middle of the order types.
