I definitely think Logan Parker is a prospect to watch. I think he should be called up to AA before too much longer.Originally Posted by dougdirt
He probably needs to make a stop in A+ Sarasota first....
Impressive thread guys.
You are correct; I would like to see him promoted even if it is Sarasota.
It's shocking to see that. Listen to any interview by a Hall-of-Famer and they will tell you how there were always hurdles that they had to work through and overcome throughout their career, and it was always about learning how to do something that was baffling them. And these are Hall-of-Famers. How much more difficult must it be for just a guy who's an All-Star for several years, or a guy who starts every game for 10 years and makes one or two All-Star games, or a guy who starts every game for about 7 years, or a guy who starts for only 2 or 3 years or a guy who is a perennial platoon or utility guy.
Point being, is that there's never a rush to move a guy up a level as there are unending things to learn and 250 at-bats or 70 innings pitched of good results does not a promotion demand.
The physical and mental maturity is immense in itself, yet alone learning well at least 3 pitches for a pitcher.

Anyone read on the Enquire or post or mlb.com for the REDS where someone said that "Cantu was a "natural" 2nd baseman"?
That's a scary thought. If that person thinks that playing 2nd base in that fashion is "natural", then I wonder what he has to see before he thinks that someone is "unnatural" at that position.

I didn't read it, but thank God the Reds have a guy at 2nd base that Cantu surely will not be replacing.
The guy was a little nervous, give him a break.
I agree. Though the REDS will be in need of a right-handed power bat on their bench next year as most of their starting power will be left-handed, I'd like Cantu to spend the rest of this year and the first half of next year working with minor league coaches on his infield defense, wherever that may be. As bad as he is at 2nd and 3rd, he must be pretty bad at 1st, too.

It was obviously a math issue for you amarillo but then again you have a texas education lol . I am kidding ! He is 25 and as you can tell by my edit I had no idea.

Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
Looks like Cueto is sailing right by Bailey on the prospect list
He is pretty up some impressive K/BB rates, especially for a 21 year old.
Cueto's fastball has really improved on location this year. That said, Bailey's location on his fastball is around the norm for his age and not any worse than Gallardo's or Hughes's. It is just they locate other pitches for strikes which gives them the developmental advantage.Looks like Cueto is sailing right by Bailey on the prospect list

The thing Cueto has on Bailey is his changeup has really gotten good and he locates it for strikes. His overall pure stuff isn't quite as good. While I am not calling Cueto a young Oswalt, his athletic ability and mechanics definitely give him a chance to start. Though I guess a high leveraged arm out of the pen may eventually be his calling. Tough to call on a smaller pitchers.
The thing Cueto needs to polish up is his slider. Not the most consistant pitch looking at the footage.
For the Reds luck, they need a sequel called "Bailey Strikes Back" next year:.
I jumped on the bandwagon with the sig.... that's just too priceless
