Redzone Community Prospect Vote #31 - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

dougdirt · 01-29-2008, 09:26 PM

Sorry for taking so long to get this up, I have been pretty busy with other stuff over the past week.

Vote for the player who you think is the Reds #31 prospect (the best prospect who is not yet on the list). We will go with this as far as you guys want to take it.

I will post a new list every 2 days with 10-15 options to vote on.

If you feel like making an argument on why a guy should be voted here, feel free to vote and state why you voted for that player.

If there is someone that is not currently listed as an option to vote on, vote for 'other' then just state who you want to vote for in the thread.

If there is anyone you would like to see as an option on the next poll, just say so and if they garner enough support, they will be placed on the next poll. Guys with the lowest amount of votes will usually be removed for the next few guys who were talked about in the previous thread.

Prospect 1 - Jay Bruce
Prospect 2 - Homer Bailey
Prospect 3 - Johnny Cueto
Prospect 4 - Joey Votto
Prospect 5 - Todd Frazier

I'm going with Herrera here. He could be a sleeper with a good showing this year.

lollipopcurve · 01-30-2008, 10:36 AM

Herrera

Really looking forward to seeing this kid pitch in the majors -- it'll happen.

RedsManRick · 01-30-2008, 10:56 AM

I also went with Herrera. A chat on BP yesterday brought up Dan Quisenberry, just one more data point suggesting you don't have to have a 93 mph fastball to be a reliever.

Blue · 01-30-2008, 11:38 AM

Razor Ramon Ramirez. He put up nice numbers across A+/AA/AAA last season.

camisadelgolf · 01-30-2008, 11:40 AM

I'm sticking with Smit. I think he'll be a rich man's Jon Coutlangus.

M2 · 01-30-2008, 12:06 PM

Pa Chiu Chiu Chomp!

Kc61 · 01-30-2008, 12:46 PM

Maybe it's time for some defensive stalwarts like Tatum, who had a very good year, and Cozart, who I think most people underrate.

AmarilloRed · 01-30-2008, 01:14 PM

I will also vote for Smit. He put up good numbers after coming over from Minnesota.

Danny Serafini · 01-30-2008, 01:17 PM

I went with Ramirez. If they felt he was worth putting on the 40 man there must be something there.

Degenerate39 · 01-30-2008, 02:15 PM

No clue who to vote for at this point so I'll go with Herrera. He doesn't seem to be that bad of a prospect and it'll be easier to justify the Hamilton trade if he's a good prospect along with Volquez.

BuckeyeRedleg · 01-30-2008, 02:31 PM

No love for Tatum? C'mon.

REDblooded · 01-30-2008, 05:53 PM

I love how everybody is making their choices now....

I'm doing it too, but it's funny

klw · 01-31-2008, 12:14 PM

I don't think I will vote. I have no clue or opinion at this point. If I get the time to make an informed decision, I will come back.

Red Daddy · 01-31-2008, 01:32 PM

Valiquette is the best on the board right now. He's a lefty, big upside, young, and had a breakout year last year. Plus, he was a high draft pick which means he has lots of upside.

Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
