If I remember correctly, SI picked the Reds as their sleeper team in 1999 as well. I was on an airline reading the story.

Re: SI.com gets on board the "Reds as Sleeper Pick" bandwagon
Hey, does anyone know why Jose Arredondo has not had surgery yet? It would seem to me they would have done his Tommy John surgery soon after they signed him. The sooner he has the surgery, the sooner he can help.

Re: SI.com gets on board the "Reds as Sleeper Pick" bandwagon
Every year theres stories about the Reds as a "darkhorse team" somewhere. Tell me when its Labor Day and we're doing more than treading water at best and I might care about writer's "darkhorse predictions".

Re: SI.com gets on board the "Reds as Sleeper Pick" bandwagon
Some of this has validity, I guess -- none of it surprising -- but Reds as a dark horse because their new facility has charging stations for iphones? I mean, color me skeptical.

Color me uber skeptical.

Re: SI.com gets on board the "Reds as Sleeper Pick" bandwagon
Another to bump. Likewise, here's the list of predictions from various SI writers. One writer picked us in that list (Cliff Corcoran) and he was correct on 3 of the 4 playoff teams (picked Dodgers instead of Giants). One other writer got 3 of 4 also, albeit picking the Cardinals over us.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...cks/index.html If anyone else comes across other predictions from Spring Training, feel free to post them.
