Baseball Prospectus on the Reds Pitching

Today is part two of my review, or summary of the player summaries, for the new 2010 Baseball Prospectus book. Today we feature the pitching staff (we did the hitters yesterday). Again, these are just a look at a handful of the entries for Reds players in the book; go buy it.

Bronson Arroyo–doesn’t have [...]

Defensive Value

I realize that Adam Dunn is no longer on the Reds, but Rob Neyer’s ESPN blog today directs readers to another blog that discusses the value of Adam Dunn versus the newly acquired National, Nyjer Morgan.

I wish defensive statistics could be truly valued at this point. When I watch the sports highlights, I always [...]

How Valuable Is… Jay Bruce

Okay, time for the Nation to discuss the next name in the “How Valuable Is” series.

Today, sick of all the negativity caused by this organization, I thought we should start the new year by discussing Jay Bruce. Lots to be excited about when you talk about Bruce.

I want to see your projections on two different [...]

How valuable is…Bronson Arroyo?

Always one of the topics of discussion in Redsland is pitcher Bronson Arroyo. I want to know what you think about him.

What is the Nation’s collective wisdom regarding Bronson. Is he overrated, underrated, or just rated? What is his future with the Reds, and what should his future be?

Let’s hear it, guys and gals.

How Valuable is Francisco Cordero?

Okay, time to discuss CoCo. No, not this Koko; this CoCo. How valuable is this guy? And can that value be discussed without looking at the contract he signed last off-season?

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised that Edwin Encarnacion’s “How Valuable” post didn’t top Brandon Phillips’ post for number of comments. Feel [...]

How Valuable is Edwin Encarnacion?

Okay, time for another community discussion, since yesterday’s look at Brandon Phillips prompted some thoughtful responses from you guys out there in the Nation (and that BP conversation is still ongoing).

Anyway, today’s subject is our intrepid third-baseman, Edwin Encarnacion. Overrated? Underrated? What is his future with the Reds? Let’s hear your [...]

How Valuable Is Brandon Phillips?

We’re going to run a series of these threads during the off-season, starting today with Brandon Phillips. I’d like to get the Nation’s collective wisdom regarding BP. Is Phillips overrated, underrated, or just rated? Which 2Bs are better, and what is his future with the Reds?

Tell us what you think about Phillips.

I’ll [...]
