After the sweep of St. Louis, I'm convinced no other team will even hang with the Reds after the All-Star break. Both the Brewers and Cardinals have a solid rotation and offense. However, they both lack solid defense up the middle and more importantly their bull-pens stink.

The Reds have played well the first 6 weeks without 40% of their rotation. Since getting Cueto and Bailey back, those 2 are 4-0 with an ERA just over 1.

Look for the Reds to win the division by 10 or so games.

I think the Cards have to much firepower to fall that far back and once Albert gets going they will be that much tougher, unless of course they trade him. The Brewers....possibly the biggest disappointment in baseball in the early going but they are heating up. Now the White Sox can hold that title alone. Granted the Reds were the favorite going in and look to be the best team in that division but 10 games is a stretch.

Have you seen our schedule for June? It's gonna be tough. I still hope we can make it past the first round of the playoffs this year.

Good to see the Whiny little b1tches get swept for once.

Better hope Dusty doesn't destroy the starters.

That's one of those unfair labels Dusty got stuck with. Our pitchers suck on their own this year w/o Dusty ruining their arms.:D

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
