    RedsZone Rookie

    First time poster but a lifelong Reds fan since before the BRM. I've been looking for a great place to chat Reds baseball...looks like I found it!

    With regards to today's trade...I'm pleased. A great, young pitcher with incredible upside and a financially friendly contract....hard to find.

    Now if the Reds can lock down the lead-off spot and a LFer....bring on spring training!

    I look forward to chatting Reds' baseball!

    Welcome good sir. I'm sure many on here will look forward to arguing with you

    In regards to your lead-off spot and a lfer idea, I think it is going to be either or. My guess getting a LFer and using BP/Cozart at the 1/2 spot in the order

    Thanks, d14.

    I agree about it being an either/or.

    I'm sure this has been kicked around a lot on this board but ideally I'd love for DS to have better plate discipline and be able to fulfill the lead-off role....too much speed to ignore.

    Would love to have a RH power bat to stick in left.

    By DS do you mean Drew Stubbs or Dave Sappelt? I'm assuming you mean Stubbs since you mentioned speed. I don't think he will ever have the skills to bat lead-off, it would be nice though. I think he has the tools to be a 3/4/5 hitter though, assuming he cant get his plate discipline in check. Although, if he could learn how to lay down a bunt, that would go a long way towards developing into a lead-off guy.

    Dave Sappelt on the other hand has potential as a lead-off guy down the road imo.

    Newbe here myself, though a Reds fan since Crosley and a vet of another Reds board. Wanted sanity rather than mudfights, so this site was recommended.

    You guys tried Reds4Life? It's a new site and the guys there are really into the Reds. You should check it out. They let you have a little more "ownership" you could say than most sites and none of the mudslinging like you mentioned.
