I can't find the article now, but last year he responded to a question about what he was working on with some bogus 1980's "keep the ball on the ground and use his speed" nonsense. Hopefully whoever told him that is long gone and he's able to make the adjustments.
The Indians were asking for a package headlined by Tramm IIRC.
That’s an apples and oranges comparison. Latos had like 3-4 years left on his contract when he was traded to the reds, Bauer is an FA after this season.
What would you say.....ya do here?
Bauer is under team control through the 2020 season, but it looks like the Indians should've sold high on him as he's back to his career norms this season.
He’s under 700. The shine is waning. This may be the biggest disappointment of the year for me, even more so than the pitching prospects and sub 500 major league record.
I’m not sure we have a single impact prospect in this system.
25 whole games later
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Well in my defense he has done the polar opposite of what I said he needed to do. Striking out like a big time power guy, and showing the power of Cesar Izturis
His K-rate is only slightly more than last year, while his W-rate has taken a jump from very good to exceptional.
His BABIP is down , I am not sure if there is a reason for that other than randomness, as his LD rate has remained constant.

He has 9 XBH. 4 doubles, 1 triple, 4 homers.
It’s just not gonna cut it.

good thing he's only 21 and still has some time to improve.
The television crews left and about 10 reporters remained in the room. That's when Price took his turn doing the talking.
What followed was a five-minute, 34-second expletive-filled tirade. The final tally was 77 uses of the "F" word or a variant and 11 uses of a vulgar term for feces (two bovine, one equine).
Didn’t say otherwise.

It's odd, but I think the Futures game last year was not beneficial for the Reds' lower level prospects. Trammell has hit .235 since then. He has been a different hitter since his HR, near HR and MVP honors. Greene might have overextended himself trying to impress with high velocity fastballs.
He was slumping pretty hard right before the Future's game too.
Maybe it is what you are implying, but I’m sure reading between the lines that you think (or are throwing out the opinion) that the Futures Game caused Greene’s TJ surgery.
I’m not worried about Trammell or India, prospect development is never a straight line.
But I understand the frustration. The Reds tanked, were painful to watch for five seasons, and the justification was that it would result in a plethora of top prospects. As of now, Senzel is the only top prospect from drafts from that period that is impressing. And if he’s is the only reward for all that losing, Reds fans should feel cheated.
