Top 100 Prospects List
Reds (4)
6. Nick Senzel, 3B/2B/OF (ETA: 2019)
16. Taylor Trammell, OF (2020)
31. Hunter Greene, RHP (2021)
53. Jonathan India, 3B (2021)
The Reds have had at least four representatives in the Top 100 for four years running now and it's been a direct pipeline from the Draft. All four on this year's list are draftees, with Senzel (2016), Greene (2017) and India (2018) all first-rounders, while Trammell was a Competitive Balance pick in that 2016 MLB Draft. Senzel, who was No. 7 a year ago, moves up to No. 6, the highest ranking a Reds prospect has garnered since lefty Aroldis Chapman was No. 6 in 2011. The Senzel-Trammell combination is the best prospect tandem in the organization since Jay Bruce and Homer Bailey were top 10 guys in 2007 and 2008.

Kuhnel and Hendricks have nice profiles as power arms out of the pen, as do Mella and Herget.
That's an easy way to save a little coin, IMO, and a consistent plus to the Reds' teams of other eras.
Hendrick Clementina, my pick to click, has lost 20 - 30 pounds over the off-season. His main issue was a lack of mobility, and, at 250 pounds, I can see why. His hands and arm were apparently solid behind the plate. This might be the best news of that entire list.
