Reds Crown Jewels
One month into the season, lets rehash the Reds Top 10 prospects. My list goes something like this:
1. Homer Bailey RHP slight edge over Bruce because he will be in Cincy by the end of the year 2. Jay Bruce OF making a strong push for the #1 spot 3. Chris Valaika SS has done nothing but hit since being drafted 4. Joey Votto 1B very slow start has been disappointing 5. Johnny Cueto RHP walks have been a concern, but still only 20 years old 6. Sean Watson RHP looking like a 2nd round steal, time for Sarsota? 7. Carlos Fisher RHP been a surprise of the system so far this year 8. Juan Francisco 3B showing great power in low A 9. Drew Stubbs OF stronger in his 2nd season than his rookie campaign 10. Daryl Thompson RHP maybe the gem of The Trade? HONORABLE MENTION Travis Wood LHP Sam LeCure RHP Adam Rosales SS

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
Looks pretty good. I am working on updating my top 10 guys as well. I think Bruce is pushing Homer extremely hard for the #1 spot.

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
I would wonder which prospects are untouchable and which the reds would be willing to part with.

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
Now that Watson has been converted to starter, is it time yet to convert him back to reliever? Guy looks like he could be quite a closer.

Yeah kc, why limit him at this early point in his development?

Joking about the timing. For now this is fine. Still, given his very high strikeout rate and K/BB ratio, and given the Reds' needs, and also his background as a reliever, Watson seems like a possible top closer candidate to me. Sometimes a great arm has to go to the bullpen for the cause. Otherwise, you wind up with a bullpen like. . . Not for now, but maybe in the future. |

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
I agree with Bruce #2...the guy is incredible, no doubt, but when you have a potential #1 ACE, he trumps any hitter, imo.
And maybe I've missed it, but how has Lecure been so far this season? Also, and I understand he's a reliever, but what about Medlock?

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
No one seems to be mentioning Rafael Gonzalez putting i together... pretty good numbers in dayton and they've always said hes got almost as good stuff as Bailey...
4-0 with a 1.93 era 28 innings 23 hits 19 Ks 7 walks... his K level is lower than u would like with that stuff but i like production |

Re: Reds Crown Jewels
I am very impressed with Gonzo so far. Would like to see the K rate go up, but the improved control is great to see.
