Hitter of the Month

In August, Juan Francisco hit .364/.371/.667 in 16 games at Triple – A Louisville.  He also hit 5 homeruns and [...]

Redleg Nation Player of the Month – August 2009

Congratulations go out to Bronson Arroyo, the Redleg Nation Player of the Month for August.

During July, I doubt many of us would have predicted that Arroyo would be in the running for August’s POTM honors. Well, in 6 starts, all Bronson did was put up a 1.99 ERA over 45.1 innings (which led the team). [...]

Redleg Nation Player of the Month – June 2009

Redleg Nation would like to congratulate our Player of the Month for June 2009: Jonny Gomes.

I’m going to be honest: this was the worst field of candidates for a monthly award since we began doing these a couple of years ago. That’s not to say that Jonny Gomes didn’t have a good month; he did, [...]

Redleg Nation Player of the Month — June 2008

Redleg Nation would like to congratulate our Player of the Month for June, Edwin Encarnacion.

Frankly, this was a very poor month’s worth of individual performances by the Reds. Encarnacion, however, stood higher than anyone else in June, posting a .294 batting average, with a .433 OBP and a .603 SLG. In 23 games, [...]
