Not sure this is allowed, but there was a post on the old Red Guard forum talking about players who have hurt the Reds- but the lamentation from a few posters was that most of the players listed killed everyone else too.
So I went to Baseball reference and found out who had the highest bump to their OPS when playing the Reds versus their overall OPS. Interesting how many of these players ended up on the Reds at one time or another. 4 of the top ten that I remember playing for Cincy.
