I look at the offense side of the roster and beyond Garcia And Ty Steve there’s not a player I cry about if they’re gone next year..
A few more drinks may change my thinking though.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
In watching the youth that has developed with Braves, White Sox, Padres, Blue Jays, the Reds simply are a horrible organization for drafting or identifying blue chips kids.
When you look at the Tatis, Acuna, the Sox youth, etc, the Reds are abysmal failures. We have rocks.
Ty Steph may turn out good, but what has this system produced since Votto?
Have this farm system produce 1 quality OF since Paul Oneill? The Reds don’t draft athletes and it shows. Dunn, Bruce, Senzel, India...there is a pattern there I see. Can we get a position player that can play baseball and is also an athlete?

Another guy that could help that is a FA is DJ lemahieu. Yes he’s older. But gives tough AB and gets on base.

Castellanos was the hottest hitter on the planet for about 2 weeks. That’s valuable. I don’t think Moose ever got his footing this year. I keep them both. Everyone else is fair game to go imo. I think Suarez is the short straw. I try to pull off something with Atlanta around Pache, a lefty reliever, and one of their many MLB ready starter prospects.

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

Open the wallet and spend money to make the team better or rip the band-aid off and start the rebuild again.

And he was mediocre at best for the other 8 weeks. That's not valuable.
I was as excited as anyone about Cast's potential as a Red after his Cubs numbers last year, but I think that early hot streak was his last hurrah and if so, I do NOT want to be stuck with him for 3 more years. WAY too many strikeouts for the #2 spot in the lineup. The guy just isn't a patient enough hitter and is clearly overmatched on most good breaking balls. If we had more high contact guys, I could live with him around 6th in the lineup, but we know he has to get his way and bat where he wants and field where he wants (in RF where he is well below average). After what I saw the last 2 days, I think Castellanos is the kind of player the Reds should be moving AWAY from. But I don't see another team offering him more after this season's numbers and so you'll probably get to watch him in red again next year.

Jose Iglesias’ season was hard to predict. But Didi’s was not.
I am not sure Didi would have come to the Reds with a better offer, but I would have rather they turned down Galvis’ option and went hell bent on signing Didi. I think that would have made a huge difference this season.
