Re: Robert Stephenson Signed
Glad to see Stephenson signed; just wish the Reds would not make us wait till the last minute.

Re: Robert Stephenson Signed
Everyone else seemed to be signing last minute this year so I'm not surprised we had to wait for Stephenson too. Glad they got him signed!

Let's hope we have struck Treasure Island, not opened The Wrong Box.

Re: Robert Stephenson Signed
I love it that the Reds keep stocking the pipeline with pitching.

Re: Robert Stephenson Signed
The whole idea of a "slot" has to be one of the most idiotic ideas anyone has come up with. Virtually every team had to go above slot in order to get their picks signed. And it seems as if the Reds, especially, had to go over slot to sign most of their picks. What's the point of a slot?

Going over slot generally is a good thing, as it means you are getting better talent than the actual draft position. |

Re: Robert Stephenson Signed
Any early guesses on the timeline? When should we expect him in the Cincy rotation? I'm guessing 2016 or so.
