damnit....thought Ervin got that

[Rolando]

These people just don’t want facts. He was a top 30 guy and the broadcast team talked him up for years. He was on the reds caravan when he was in single A.

What the flip does this have to do with the game being played right now

[ScotlandRed]

I’m pretty sure Stephenson and Winker were consensus top 40/50 guys at one point.

[The Operator]

Don’t care. It’s 50 PA’s and they never give him a chance to hit against them.

They're basically turning it into a self fulfilling prophecy.

Literally nothing.


But that's how this guy operates. If The Reds aren't losing and he doesn't have the ability to troll in that manner, he'll find something else like this.

Jose Peraza being #24 on that list tells me all I need to know about it.


I still maintain that no knowledgeable Reds fans were crossing him as any sort of savior. People have been bagging on the guy around here for years.

It doesn’t matter who was on the list and I’ve never said the lists were good. My post said he was billed as a franchise player and the reds have decided he’s a platoon player. My post was also in response to a post about someone being disappointed in Senzel. I understand my ID says Alabama and Ohio State sucks and Alabama is the GOAT but come on, I’m right on this one.

Please be good Raisel tonight


Pleeeeaaassseee be good Raisel

time for Oliver to bring the heat

Feel like I’m watching a black and white TV.

I’m pretty sure Stephenson and Winker were consensus top 40/50 guys at one point.

This is closer to being right than calling him a “top 30” guy. BA and BP had him ranked 47 and 44 in 2015 and then 51 and 50 in 2016. He then dropped down to 98/91 after that. And he’s now playing pretty much in line with those projections.

And that what professional baseball people who made that decision.

College football sucks so I could care less

it is going to be hard to not view your posts with skepticism after that statement

Being on a prospect list and being viewed as a franchise player are two very different things.


But I digress, there's a game going on.

[JaxRed]

Why? The Pirates brought in another right-handed pitcher. Who were you replacing him with?

Was monitoring game on phone. Just assumed they brought in a lefty. Nevermind.......

[Roy Tucker]

Iglesias gives up a lot of 0-2 hits.
