There are a couple prospects who are a little bit interesting. Cisco and Romano in Dayton. Rogers and Barnhart in Pensacola. We'll see what happens once Langfield comes back healthy. But it's not as if there are a whole host of top shelf prospects from this bunch that are knocking on the door- they will most likely be backups and fringe players if they do reach the bigs someday.
It's not, as I said, so much of a knock on Buckley & Co. but it's more reflective of how meaningless the draft is for every team after the first couple rounds. It just doesn't really move the needle, and it's rare when it does.

Let's split the difference, Doug.
30.2% (current MLB rosters)
Reds with an MLB low of two are in great company (Cubs, Brewers and Royals).
