Naquin, Diehl traded to the Mets

[RedTeamGo!]

The two minor leaguers seem fine but I'm not terribly bullish on the Reds developing them into anything.

Just admit you wanted to use the word “bullish”

At least they're acquiring real lotto tickets with positive qualities though. I got tired of watching them receive 25+ year old guys back that really had no shot at being anything other than career AAAA guys.

Agreed. These guys are certainly a long way from the top of prospect lists, but they look promising enough to actually rise into the Reds top 30 list within the next year. As far as long-shots go, they may stick around for a while.

And so it begins...

Duh duh duhhh!

Mets going all in.

Mets going all in.

Phillip The Real Diehl!

Phillip The Real Diehl!

When you’re willing to step up to the plate and acquire Cincinnati’s favorite son and local hero Philip Diehl or No Diehl, you send a definite message.

The message being fart noises.

nah I'm just disillusioned lately with seemingly everyone in the Reds system besides Elly rocking these bad looking slashlines and pitching lines.

On the bright side, the sun is going to go nova in a few billion years, so nothing really matters.

So we will not see these players for 5 years or more?? Wonderful..

Ha, I agree with your sentiment, just makes me laugh how much you use bullish and bearish in baseball talk. Although, it is fitting for sure.

But yeah, McLain has been a disappointment this year. Barrero looks horrid. At this point Hinds and Callihan are nothings. So on and so forth

Huh? One is 18 and other is 19. Wouldn’t be crazy for them to make majors at 21-23 years old. But either way, it’s for Tyler Naquin.

Which ticks me off they can't develope young players in this organization to ever get to Winning again!! Time for a clean house moment and bring in new faces for the so-called development team of coaches!!

I think it’s going to be hard to be a Reds fan the next few days.

Pretty solid return for a league average OF.

I like both young guys, especially Rodriguez. A lifetime line of .321/ .377/ .500/ .877 in 260 PAs while being quite young for the level in at least half of those games is promising.

True, but they may come out of it with the best farm system they’ve ever had. And young studs already in the bigs.
