Loaded Tournament of Stars again.
A couple players listed as LHP/RHP. Is it always the case there are players like that or is switch-throwing becoming a trend?

Which is why the Reds and MLB have been so brilliant with their community fund. What better way to get kids to play baseball and ensure the future of your sport than to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to give them top notch facilities.

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

I thought the same thing. I don't know if it's becoming a trend, but they are both "switch-pitchers/throwers".

As LSU's hitters said, Singer was electric. Might go 1-1 in 2018 @MLBDraft.

Which means he's probably going to be a Phillie.

And if not, then a Giant.

fangraphs still has the Giants projected to play above .500 ball the rest of the year. If that happens, the Reds could end up with a better draft pick than the Giants. Now that our playoff chances are dashed, Reds' fans should root for the Padres, White Sox and Giants. I do not see the Phillies ending up with a better record than the Reds, but I suppose it is possible.

We are only 5 games ahead of the Giants, I think we can catch them.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Tournament of Stars, day one:
If the first day of the Tournament of Stars was any indication, both the international competition the US Baseball 18 and under national team will face this fall, and scouts evaluating the 2018 Draft class will see plenty of quality pitching.
Big arms were on display in both games on Day 1 of the tournament that helps USA Baseball determine who will play in September's WBSC U-18 World Cup in Canada. It started with a matchup of lefties Ryan Weathers (Loretto HS, Tenn.) and Matthew Liberatore (Mountain Ridge HS, Peoria, Ariz.).The strong starting pitching continued in Game 2 with right-hander Kumar Rocker (North Oconee HS, Watkinsville, Ga.) going toe-to-toe with lefty Carter Lohman (Hamilton Southeastern HS, Fishers, Ind.).While the arms did seem ahead of the bats on Tuesday, there were some hitters who certainly held their own. Brice Turang (Santiago HS, Corona, Calif.), who many feel is the best player in the 2018 Draft class, showed an advanced approach at the plate, drawing two walks then lacing a single the other way against Ginn. He and Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage HS, Tex.), the son of the former big leaguer, also showed plus range at shortstop and second.

Man, if the Reds could land Turang a year after getting Greene...Brice Turang (Santiago HS, Corona, Calif.), who many feel is the best player in the 2018 Draft class

I would imagine Singer will not arrive until the Cuba series.
It's early but pitching appears to be well ahead of the hitting at Tournament of Stars.

I didn't put this together until Mayo tweeted about it. Kris Armstrong is one of the switch-throwers. Armstrong, as in Son of Jack.
