It's hosted by Bryan Smith at http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...ts-chat-11210/

Here are some Reds mentions:

11:10
[Comment From Sandy Kazmir]
Who would you rather have next season Yonder Alonzo or Gaby Sanchez?
11:10
Bryan Smith: For 2011, I'll take Sanchez. For everything after, give me Alonso.

11:30
[Comment From Zach Sanders]
Better MLB career: Mike Leake or Deck McGuire?
11:30
Bryan Smith: I'll take the guy with the nice head start.

11:48
[Comment From dREaDs Fan]
Reds hitting prospect with biggest impact on the big league team next year: Mesorasco, Todd Frazier, Juan Francisco, Chris Heisey, Yonder Alonso?
11:49
Bryan Smith: Mesoraco. I think he's their starting catcher, if not on April 1, then on June 1.

11:50
[Comment From MarinerDan]
Is Drew Stubbs a .270/25 HR/25 SB guy next year?
11:51
Bryan Smith: under, slight under, over. I know that's exactly what happened this year, but I don't see him much different as a hitter in 2011. Maybe a few more home runs, but that's pretty much the player he is. With more UZR.

12:02
[Comment From Greg]
Travis Wood? [as a comparison for Manuel Banuelos, Yankees pitching prospect]
12:02
Bryan Smith: That's not bad, actually, though Banuelos does have more velo than that.

Nice to see that said about Alonso.
