It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
We're going to pick Lewis and sign him before he goes to Ohio State and blows out his elbow and eventually makes his way into the Indians' rotation.

I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Ironically, the 2001 draft is the only draft going back to 1995 with no players from it now representing the Reds or their farm system today.
1996 = Barker
1997 = Hairston, Jr.
1998 = Hopper, Pettyjohn
1999 = Harang, Phillips
2000 = Encarnacion, Massett, Nix, Kennard
2001 =
2002 = Votto, Vazquez, Bankston
2003 = Dickerson, Thompson, Cumberland
2004 = Bailey, Tatum, Janish, Valliquette, Bray, Sutton, Henry
2005-2008 = numerous
*bold/red = drafted by the Reds
Granted it's a crapshoot, but 1999, 2000, and 2001 were about as bad a three-year stretch of drafting as an organization can have.
Top players:
99 = Ben Broussard
00 = Steve Smitherman, Dustin Mosely
01 = David Shafer
Gomes was 2001, right?
Yeah, Gomes is 2001. Richie Gardner was the only other one who might have been...but his career is over, I think.
Also, Darnell McDonald was drafted in 1997.
Got me.
I hadn't added Gomes yet.
So now we are covered for 2001. whew.
Fixed...
1996 = Barker
1997 = Hairston, Jr., McDonald
1998 = Hopper, Pettyjohn
1999 = Harang, Phillips
2000 = Encarnacion, Massett, Nix, Kennard
2001 = Gomes
2002 = Votto, Vazquez, Bankston
2003 = Dickerson, Thompson, Cumberland
2004 = Bailey, Tatum, Janish, Valliquette, Bray, Sutton, Henry
2005-2008 = numerous

He has boat loads of talent but was mismanaged from the start here in Detroit. Give me a re-do on this guy and he already has a CY...
Great class, especially the top 15 or so. Top five may be the best top five of the past decade.
