Thank you for all your work, OBM. Every year, there's a ton of great conversation, and it's really nice for all of us to get better looks at the organization's prospects.

Thanks for the list. I hope a good handful of these guys pan out and contribute in the bigs for the Reds.

I think at some point I've read something about all these prospects, but I must say I don't ever remember hearing about Donnie Joseph (#20). Not sure how I missed him.

He is a new draftee and a reliever, so I could see how you just missed reading about him along the way through the season.

Ditto, as always the hardest working poster on RZ!

UKFlounder · 02-08-2010, 03:27 PM

I didn't vote or add to the conversation in any of these, as I'm not that up-to-date on the prospects, but I certainly read them & followed them, so add my thanks as well, OBM.

These threads are among the highlights of the offseason.

Thanks for all you do, OBM. I've learned a lot from all the discussions, and I can't wait to follow the development of these guys.
