That was an amazingly poor list. Danny Jackson the best ever performance by a Reds pitcher, and Johnny Cueto and Jack Billingham in the top ten, but no mention of Dolph Luque or of Bucky Walters's 1939 season?
I was a big George Foster fan, but Joe Morgan had at least 4 seasons that were better than Foster's 1977; the top two seasons in Reds history were probably Morgan's 1975 and 1976 MVP years.
Agreed. I get it that they didn't want to include one player more than once...but Morgan had the top season IMO. Several of those seasons should've been off the list. It's like the writer forgot anything before the 1960's.
