Re: Reds lose high A team
It's exceptionally rare for someone to go from High A to the majors, so I don't mind them in California. It was nice though that they could visit all their teams in essentially 2 days.

Re: Reds lose high A team
John Fayl needs to familiarize himself with the Reds Minor League System. Called the High A team the Mudcats.

Re: Reds lose high A team
I am sure that the players would rather be in California with a new affiliate with the Reds but this gives us a whole nother reason to hate the Braves.

Re: Reds lose high A team
I tried to walk the streets there once, but I tripped and fell. I had to tell Buck he was right all along.

Re: Reds lose high A team
oh damn well that isn't good and doesn't sound worth it. If i missed it i am sorry, but what happened with Lynchburg? Was that a mutual decission. Is it that the lease ended and the reds wanted something in particular? or was Lynchburg fed up with the Reds? I just don't understand getting rid of the Reds for the Braves unless it is a fan base thing

Re: Reds lose high A team
Wasn't Bakersfield the team Edinson Volquez got banished to when the Rangers wanted him to turn around his attitude, cut his hair, wear his hat a certain way, etc.?

Frankly, it appears to me the Reds did a very poor sales job in Lynchburg. I guess this is Terry Reynolds' area of responsibility. The Reds played and exhibition game in Carolina year before last and they could have offered to do the same in Lynchburg. Tout the pipeline and what the next couple of years look like. Given next year may be slow, the following could be entertaining in Advanced A for Cincy. On the other hand, the Reds may have been shut out from the git-go. I would love to know how this all went down. |
