Great article. Joey Votto is probably the most articulate, interesting player the Reds have ever had.
Oh that was an ugly jacket Bowden was wearing.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
McKeon wanted Scott Kazmir, Brian McCann, and Joey Votto in that draft.
Bowden wanted Gruler, Mark Shrameck, and Votto.
A lot of people forget that Trader Jack was a fairly good general manager with the Padres throughout the 80's.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

Nice that the Reds got some luck for a change, due to not many other teams seeing Votto.
One of their "value picks" worked out lol
[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
