Look at the ages of the starting 8 that the Reds are putting on the field. All of them are 25 or under.
2B -PHILLIPS
SS - LOPEZ
3B - ENCARNACION
LF - DUNN
RF - KEARNS
then we have Arroyo and Harang that are under 30, and we have a few young relievers. If the new owner is serious about winning, then he will not only keep this team together, but add to it. the future looks "bright" red
Actually, Dunn and Kearns are 26 now, yes? I know for a fact that they turn 26 this year at the very least.
Dunn turned 26 in November; Kearns and Lopez turn 26 in May; EE turned 23 in January; Phillips turns 25 in June.
All this with Jr out and Dunn in a funk. Our scrappy players are getter done!
When talking young studs I think you have to throw in the name Todd Coffey as well. I've been extremely impressed by him this year. If Homer's up by 2008 and Castellini lets Krivsky add a couple pitchers we will be World Series contenders.
