Travis Wood.
Definitely Wood. He's got a fuzzy cieling at this point, but he's put up really good stats every step of the way so far and could eventually have a sick repertoire (consisting of the greatest changeup in baseball history ).
Travis Wood for me. I had him and Cueto just about even, and after voting Cueto 4th, it only makes sense to vote Wood 5th. I suspect Wood will spend a great deal of the season in High-A, and I'm hoping he's able to cut down his walk rate and home run rate at least a little bit next season.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
I voted the board concensus 1-5
I think that Bailey, Bruce, Votto, Cueto & Wood have generally been considered the cream of the Reds farm system.
I am VERY happy Krisky hasn't traded any of them for short term fixes.
