Zero of the reds top prospects are having a good season; and the majority of them (6/9) that are healthy are having abysmal seasons.

Ha the only thing referenced for the hitters is batting average and home runs.
Also, nice.
What would you say.....ya do here?

I know the numbers, I just made an observation.
Yeah, the reds organization stinks on ice. Broken news.
India has been fine for the most part. That’s an extreme pitchers league. Siani has actually been on fire since a dreadful start to the season. Garcia is making strides.
Tramm and Stephenson are disappointing.

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).

Since Greene is out with injury, we're down to 9 prospects on this list who are actually playing.
India has a 127 wRC+, while being roughly a half year (-0.5) younger than the average competition of his league.
Garcia checks in at 116 at a -1.5 age difference.
Trammell is at 115, at a -2.7 age difference.
Stephenson at 110, at a -1.7 age difference.
Siri is at 106, at -0.7.
Siani at 98 at -2.2 age difference.
So, of the hitters, all of them are league average or better in terms of wRC+, and they are all doing it while being younger than the average player in their league. Sure, India and Siri are pretty close to league average age, but India is looking like what we thought - a solid INF bat - and Siri is hitting for average this season. I'll take it. Trammell will be fine, Stephenson is a C and their development arc is slower, Garcia looks solid, and Siani is doing well considering his assignment. I don't think I would term any of them as "not having a good season". It's also a long season, and let's check back in two months or so, shall we?
I'm not pleased with Gutierrez, but I still think he's a reliever and wish we'd just put him in a bullpen. I think he'd be much better in that role.
Richardson is super young for his assignment, and I think he's doing reasonably well there. Santillan needs to cut down the walks, but he's showing he's a strong MOR arm, even not a tad bit more.
That's 8/9 guys I'm fairly pleased with in more context. Do I wish Trammell was hitting better? Yeah, but he's still getting on base at AA and showing a wide skill set. I think he'll be fine.
I don't think the sky is falling here.
With all of that said, I'm still anything but sold on the Reds' player development system, so anything could happen.

Again, league-adjusted stats are important. Trammell is posting a 115 wRC+ and Stephenson a 110 wRC+. Certainly not lighting the world on fire, but I'll take above average offensive numbers from a 21- and 22-year-olds in AA.
Feels appropriate to make note of league-adjusted numbers. Just using raw numbers seems akin to drawing conclusions on batting average, home runs and RBI alone. Without context, the video game numbers in AAA make the current Bats lineup look like the 1927 Yankees.
Lot of Reds defeatist attitudes in here. Not expecting anything other than “fine” from top prospects. Let’s see where that gets us.
