So if ghe Reds finish with the 6th worst record, they'll get get the 6th, 31st, and 42nd picks? I know compensatory picks get wedged in there. Is it between 1st and 2nd round after the competitive balance picks?

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

I didn't see this anywhere so I just started a thread. I didn't think to look here. No Cards in either round.Originally Posted by Plus Plus
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Right now they are 7th worse and only 3.5 losses back of being 2nd worse. If Leake and Bruce go, and /or Chappy they might get that #2 pick.
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
Would be awesome to have the 2nd pick...
Go BLUE!!!
Hopefully, after the trading deadline, those teams still below the Reds will not be better at getting worse.

Kiley McDaniel says in the 2016 draft there are 7 elite prospects, whereas in the 2015 draft there was only 1.
Personally, I'd love to snag either of the two best bats: Blake Rutherford or Nick Banks, both OF but Rutherford has an outside shot to stick in CF. After those two, the other "elite" prospects are all pitchers. Of course a lot can and will change over the next 10 months.
Go BLUE!!!
As of today August 7th the Reds would have the 8th pick

Saw a blurb yesterday on mlb network that said the Reds have the toughest schedule in baseball from here to the end of the season. Hopefully the team can take advantage of that so to get a higher pick.

Over the years I have learned that if I simply root for the Reds, the losing takes care of itself.

Seriously..
If we need one more loss to secure a better draft position, I should buy tickets for the last home game. I'm sure the scheduled starter will be scratched at the last minute I will be "treated' to some scrub as a last minute substitution..
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

Sub .500 update. Rays leave the club while the Twins sink. Reds hold tiebreaker over the A's based on last year's records.
Code:Miami Marlins 44 68 .393 -- Philadelphia Phillies 45 67 .402 1 Milwaukee Brewers 48 65 .425 3.5 Colorado Rockies 47 62 .431 4.5 Boston Red Sox 50 62 .446 6.0 Cincinnati Reds 49 60 .450 6.5 Oakland Athletics 51 62 .451 6.5 Atlanta Braves 51 61 .455 7.0 Cleveland Indians 51 59 .464 8.0 Seattle Mariners 52 60 .464 8.0 San Diego Padres 52 60 .464 8.0 Chicago White Sox 51 58 .468 8.5 Detroit Tigers 54 57 .486 10.5 Arizona Diamondbacks 54 56 .491 11.0 Minnesota Twins 55 56 .495 11.5

With the Reds loss and the Red Sox win the Reds and sox are tied. Sox would get better pick due to having a worse record last year
Code:Miami Marlins 44 68 .393 GB Philadelphia Phillies 45 68 .398 0.5 Milwaukee Brewers 48 65 .425 3.5 Colorado Rockies 47 63 .427 4.0 Boston Red Sox 50 62 .446 6.0 Cincinnati Reds 49 61 .445 6.0 Oakland Athletics 51 62 .451 6.5 Atlanta Braves 51 61 .455 7.0 Seattle Mariners 52 61 .460 7.5 Cleveland Indians 51 59 .464 8.0 San Diego Padres 53 60 .469 8.5 Chicago White Sox 52 58 .473 9.0 Detroit Tigers 54 58 .482 10.0 Minnesota Twins 55 56 .495 11.5 Arizona Diamondbacks 55 56 .495 11.5
Of the teams currently 1-10, the Reds would hold a tiebreaker advantage over the Braves, A's, Mariners, Indians, Brewers and Marlins. Just the Sox, Phillies and Rockies would win a tie.

I don't remember if the makeup for the rainout between the Reds and Nationals is going to happen. If it doesn't, how would that affect the final standings? Would teams be listed by winning percentage and not actual record?

It is on the schedule for Sept 28. With a week remaining after that and the Nats/Mets in a dogfight and the wild card scenarios in play, it is likely that the game will matter. Even if it is not played, there would still be a half game difference in the standings. Winning percentage would come into play if there were a two game difference in games played. That would be the interesting question. Would they go by winning percentage, or would they treat a virtual tie as an actual tie?
