    2013: Looking ahead

    You guys know I love to look ahead. Since the minor league season ends in two weeks I thought we could start looking into next year.

    First off, fringe guys who will be out of options:
    Todd Redmond
    Jordan Smith
    Chris Valaika

    Players eligible for Rule V draft:
    Daniel Corcino
    Yorman Rodriguez
    Nick Christiani
    Juan Duran
    Mark Fleury
    Josh Fellhauer
    Tim Crabbe
    Mark Serrano
    Ismael Guillon
    Brian Pearl

    Then upcoming Free Agents:

    AAA
    Carlos Fisher
    Sean Gallagher
    Tim Gustafson
    Chad Reineke
    Tanekoa Texeira
    Travis Webb
    Corky Miller
    Brian Peacock
    Mike Costanzo
    Willie Harris

    Double-A
    Wilkin De La Rosa
    Michael Griffin
    Wirfin Obispo
    Josh Ravin
    Beau Mills
    PJ Phillips
    Miguel Rojas



    I would not be surprised if Bray or Masset were non-tendered. If they come back and deal in September than maybe not, but I don't think they "need" them at what they would cost.

    So, from there:

    Louisville:
    SP Pedro Villarreal
    SP Daniel Corcino
    SP Tony Cingrani
    SP FA
    SP FA

    RP-Manno
    RP-Freeman
    RP-Hayes
    RP-Christiani
    RP-Josh Judy
    RP-Andrew Brackman
    RP- FA (LH?)
    RP- FA

    C-FA/Corky
    1B-Soto
    2B-Negron (will be ready for spring training)
    3B-Rodriguez
    SS-Didi
    LF-LaMarre
    CF-Phipps
    RF-Perez

    Bench
    Fellhauer
    Puckett
    FA OF
    FA C


    I haven't followed Double-A or lower as much this year so I wouldn't feel confident predicting them as much so feel free to continue it. Go!

    Thanks Doug. An intersting thing about Guillon:

    His original contract with Cincinnati was voided due to an injury so:
    "Because he signed a second contract with his original team, Guillon will be eligible for the Rule V draft every year until he's added to the 40-man roster."

    Pretty sure Massett signed a two year contract. He's signed for next year. Not a non-tender candidate.

    I'd be very surprised if Christiani was added to 40 man roster

    As much potential as they have, I don't know that I see anyone being able to stash Y-rod or Duran on their 25 man roster for long enough to keep them. (Unless Houston is going for 130 losses next year)

    Re: 2013: Looking ahead

    So who are the guys who are legit options to be lost due to Rule V?

    (e.g. we all know Corcino will be protected and Guillon, Duran and YRod are too far off to be drafted and held on to for a whole season)

    A few guys that seem like possibilities to me:
    - Serrano
    - Fellhauer
    - Puckett
    - Mills (not a minor league FA?)
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    Maybe Brian Pearl? Despite his 7 ERA in AA.

    I won't do lineups for now but here is my best guess of the moment as how the top of the minor league rotations could look next year:

    Louisville
    1. Corcino
    2. Cingrani
    3. Redmond
    4. Villareal
    5. Obispo

    Pensacola
    1. Lotzkar
    2. Rogers
    3. J.Smith
    4. ?
    5. ?

    Bakersfield
    1. Stephenson
    2. J.Johnson
    3. Quezada
    4. Gerson
    5. Allen

    Dayton
    1. Langfield (could also jump to A+ especially if Travieso and/or Garrett start in Dayton)
    2. Guillon
    3. Cisco
    4. Moscot

    Billings
    1. Travieso? (could be in Dayton)
    2. Garrett? (could be in Dayton)
    3. P.Diaz
    4. Felt
    Go BLUE!!!

    Would hate to lose Fellhauer. Looks like a good lefty BA hitter who could make the Reds in 2014 as a fourth or fifth outfielder. Type of bat the Reds could use.

    FWIW, next season will be the year of Corcino and Cingrani. Can see spots opening up in Reds rotation by 2014 the latest. These two will be at AAA and will have an opportunity to become Reds starters depending on how they do.

    Re: 2013: Looking ahead

    Even though Yorman is so far off, I really don't see them leaving him off. Teams rarely do that to a "top" prospect.

    To be honest, I think it'll be:
    Corcino
    Yorman
    Christiani
    Fellhauer
    and the two maybes are Guillon and Pearl.

    I would be surprised if they protected Christiani. 26 walks and 30 strikeouts in 65 innings simply doesn't do it for me. The ERA is good, but it is smoke and mirrors. I don't see them protecting Pearl either. If they can bring back Obispo and or Ravin, I could see both being protected. Both have strong arms and can hit 96 (or in Ravin's case, 99).
