I was wrong about....

[membengal]

Bump.

I was wrong about (or at least didn't need to worry as much about) Billy Hamilton's readiness for the big leagues to start the year. While he has most certainly struggled, I am thrilled to see that after two months he has enough bat and game to make a positive impact on this team, and that it appears to be okay that he didn't get further seasoning at AAA. I am now much more cautiously optimistic about Hamilton going forward than I was two months ago.

Also, this thread goes back to 2009 (and includes the 2012 August bump, when we all were giddy), which makes for fun reading.

[RedTeamGo!]

I love how a bunch of people in this thread were wrong about Edwin Encarnacion twice. They thought he was going to be good, then accepted he was bad, and now he is good again. baseball!

I have been wrong about:

Joey having another knee surgery
JJ Hoover being competent

[NebraskaRed]

I was wrong about Bernadina. I was fooled by what he was doing in March.

[Rojo]

Wrong about Leake. When the Reds picked up a short righty without outstanding stuff, I thought it was waste of an early first round pick.

[kbrake]

Thought Bernadina would be a very solid bench piece.

[Cedric]

Thought Leake was a bad pick and I also thought Frazier would be a horrible defensive 3b.

Well, considering we could have taken Mike Trout at 8....

[Kingspoint]

I was wrong about Heisey's Offensive production. I hoped he would get regular playing time so he could get some timing down during the regular seasons, but I still didn't expect him to have as low of an OPS as he's had the last 13 months.

I've been wrong about Heisey too, and his new Eric Davis swing. He just looks like such a hitter at the plate, it reminds me of my so very wrong opinions of Duane Walker.

[The Operator]

I was wrong not to ban Raisor when I had the chance.

I have no doubt that future generations will look back and condemn me for such a gross malfeasance.

[Benihana]

I much preferred Andrew Miller and Tyler Matzek to Drew Stubbs and Mike Leake, respectively. I've got a thing for high upside lefties.

I also thought Cameron Maybin would be better than Jay Bruce. Turns out the real gem in that draft was neither of them, but instead the third HS OF drafted - Andrew McCutchen.

I wanted Rick Porcello instead of Devin Mesoraco, and Daniel Norris instead of Robert Stephenson.

With the possible exception of 2012 (Giolito over Travieso), the Reds have significantly outdrafted me in the first round since Chris Buckley took over. It's the later rounds where I've scored some on them.

Teflon Raisor.

[jojo]

I was wrong that Raisor had 54 Nobel prizes. He has more.

Then he comes up and gets three doubles and a walk tonight (but never with men on base).

Let's me and you complain about him again tonight and see if it works.

That always works on the Bruce and Votto threads.
