Re: Which Red Never Got a Full Chance to develop

If you are talking about someone who didnt develop as a Red but later on did, then Trevor Hoffman and Paul Konerko tops the list.

Wily Mo -- Boston is doing the same thing. I'd love to see that kid get 600 PA.

Re: Which Red Never Got a Full Chance to develop

To me, the Reds have a tendency to give players too much opportunity, but here are some names I can think of (many of whom are very debateable):

Dennys Reyes
Stan Jefferson
Dan Wilson
Hector Carrasco
Rick Reed
Giovanni Carrara
Joey Eischen
Todd Williams
B.J. Ryan
Bruce Chen
Brandon Larson









(just kidding about Brandon Larson)

Joe Adcock

Paul O'Neill

BTW - woy, I expect to see a homage to the Cleveland Crusaders and Gerry Cheevers or the Indianapolis Races and Wayne Gretzky before the end of the month.

Little known WHA fact - and there are a ton of them - one of the original 8 franchises were headed to Dayton to become the Aeros. UD Arena didn't want to deal with the ice and Hara Arena was too small and off the team went to Houston and promptly won a couple of AVCO Cups.

Adam Dunn JK!!!

Brady Clark was already mentioned but he was/is a solid fundamental player. Reminded me of Kevin McReynolds.

Ryan Wagner for sure.

Nothing against DT, TC. Way back when, there were a couple of posters who were really hot-n-bothered that DT didn't make it with the Reds.
