I'm not certain what it means - maybe nothing - but it strikes me that the 2009 Reds might be the first Cincinnati squad since 1955 to not include at least one future Hall of Famer.
I'm fully aware that someone on the current roster might live up to their potential and go on to put up Cooperstown-worthy career statistics.
From Frank Robinson's rookie season in '56 (and it became apparent fairly quickly that he was a HOF-caliber player) to Junior's last year as a Red in 2008, there's always been at least one guy, sometimes more, who seemed destined for the Hall.
