Seeking6 Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm saying this because I can see some parallels. When the Cubs called up Schwarber in 2015 he was the catalyst that took that lineup to the next level and from there the rest is history. Reds might not have to worry about pitching if they score 9 every night. Give them 1-2 more starters and a bullpen guy and see what happens. Pitching always wins but now the Reds mgt can figure out who to target and what it will cost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I would fault them by any means though. If Stephenson gives them anything.. the lineup is, I would assume, as good as anyones. Outside of McClain and Elly... I'm not sure which position players are the guys. It's really a good problem to have. Their minor leagues look very solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I just hope that the Reds don’t give up CES for a rental or two year player. That guy can absolutely rake too. It’ll be tough to sustain this offense, and I know that Greene and Lodolo are still a ways from returning, but… if they can somehow manage to remain a threat without giving away much, I like their chances. What a fun team to watch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fun team to watch! That was kind of my point. I also dont want to see them dump someone like Steer for the same reason. The Reds have pitching... two or three of the arms are still in the minors, sure... but if Lodolo comes back healthy, I'm not sure they aren't better served to sit back this season, allow it to play out however, and then go from there. Simply put.. idk that Stephenson and India are long term guys, among other things/question marks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can move India and get a nice haul for him, as long as Marte becomes what we all think he will. I believe that Senzel is an intriguing piece right now. He and Maile could get you a couple of really decent arms to boot, along with another prospect or two. As long as they don’t give up CES, Marte, or Collier, I’d be fine with a move or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elly+McClain would be untouchable for me, as well. And your opinion on Marte and India is exactly why, maybe waiting, is the best long term option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably get ELDC for peanuts if they offered him 10 + $300 million, or 8 + $240. When he becomes a free agent, he could demand an astronomical price tag. Pay him for 10 years and he’s 31/32 when the contract is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Reds will save 25 million after this season from Votto.. They'll get 22 million back from Moustakas... At least 6 million back froM Wil Myers... And 2.5 million back fro Luis Cessa. 45-50 million in money they already spent this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you make a move to get arms or bullpen help because you have a legit chance? Or do you stay put, not make any moves because you want to keep your prospects? Tough call and either way they go it will be met with debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like... sure go all out this year, but make sure that can't hinder you at all in the future....because next year and beyond the Reds should expect to be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be setup for a 5-6 year run here. Just like my Cubs in 2015 we didn't do anything....but we did ship some in 2016 to get Chapman. I'd stand pat. Try to add a veteran arm to the rotation and pen and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Not a good start so far down 3-0 but this teams never quits. Still worried about how bad our starting pitching is. Also I don't like having to infielders playing RF and LF. Steer and Senzel having trouble judging fly balls.

IU Scott Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Bottom of 3rd McClain hits a 2 run homer to cut it to 3-2. Top 4th Ashcraft gave up 3 runs 6-2 Reds won't get able to sustain tbe winning when your staters ERA is 5.78. Ashcraft came off the DL today but still is struggling. Now Lively went on the DL today.
