Ian Kinsler and the best Second Baseman in baseball
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The man with the shaggy moptop, the stinging bat and the natural flair defensively at second base recently received a five-year $75 million extension from the Texas Rangers. Ian Kinsler is one of two second baseman in American League history that has gone 30-30 in a season — Alfonso Soriano is the other. Defensively, he's among the best at the position in the league. But Kinsler'...

Where the Jays Stand – Second Base
Posted on 26 Oct 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Today, we examine Kelly Johnson and a second base position that is currently in flux for the organization. Previously considered Aaron Hill’s territory, Johnson heads into the off-season as the incumbent but, like Hill, is a free agent. However, before breaking the position down, a quick word on the hullabaloo over John Farrell and his involvement in the Red Sox managerial search: Alex Anthop...

Hats Off Cincinnati
Posted on 19 Aug 2011 by Derrick Blyberg.
The Cincinnati Reds head into Pittsburgh for a weekend series after dropping two-out-of-three to the Washington Nationals in typical 2011 Reds fashion. The consistent failure to produce timely hitting has been a thorn the size of a California Redwood stuck in the club’s side. “That's been the story of the year,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Get one guy hot one day. Get ano...

Positive News
Posted on 30 Aug 2010 by Dave Allen.
It seems like every time I post something about the Reds, it's negative. Maybe my blood gets to boiling after a disappointing loss or series and I just have to write something. But not today. Not after the Reds finished off the Cubs to win yet another series, and improve their record to 20-games over .500. Can you believe it? I've been covering this team since spring training began in Arizona. ...

Brandon Phillips and the Cincinnati Reds Have Our Attention
Posted on 11 Aug 2010 by Brandon Galvin.
The Cincinnati Reds have surpassed most expectations thus far. They were leading the NL Central Division. All Star Joey Votto is an MVP candidate. All Star Brandon Phillips is having another outstanding season. These two are the cornerstone pieces to a young team with the potential to compete in the Central Division for years. Phillips’ 79 total runs rank him fourth among all second basemen i...

Reds Not Ready For The Spotlight
Posted on 10 Aug 2010 by Dave Allen.
The Cardinals have come to Cincinnati and have shown the Reds how far they truly have to go to be ready for the national spotlight. The Reds came into the series brashly behind their trash-talking, Chad Ochocinco-esque, second baseman, Brandon Phillips. Phillips went on an I-hate-the-Cardinals rant before Monday’s game to Hall of Fame writer Hal McCoy that was worthy of legend. Off-color lang...

First Half Fantasy Surprises Pt. 1- Fielders
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 by Trevor Stewart.
Some guys you expect to hit 20 homers and carry your fantasy roster; it's assumed those guys will be your anchors and your consistent source of RBI's or hits or stolen bases. However, there are some players that no one saw coming, or maybe people were down on and resurrected themselves this year and have become fantasy relevant again. Here are some of the best so far this season. Texas Rangers ...

Heyward Shines vs. Reds
Posted on 20 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
Some losses are tougher to take than others. I don’t exactly know where Wednesday night’s 5-4 loss at Atlanta ranks, but I’d say at least an 8 on a scale of 1-10. The Reds had a few chances to score runs before they did some actual damage in the 8th. Their best chance came in the 5th when Aaron Harang began things with a lead-off double. Orlando Cabrera got him to 3rd on a ground out, but...

Castro not ready for bigs
Posted on 11 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
You might be thinking that it's easy for me to say that Starlin Castro is not ready for the major leagues, considering he just came off of a three-error game. But, physical errors are not what I am talking about. Physical errors are inevitable and given Castro's reputation as a good defender, they are not a large cause for concern. However, it's the mental errors which are concerning. After hav...

Harang Ready To Celebrate
Posted on 9 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
The Reds rebounded from a 14-7 loss to the Cubs on Friday to post a 14-2 win over the North Siders on Saturday, but what might get lost in the shuffle was the dominance of Aaron Harang for Cincinnati. On the eve of his 32nd birthday, he pitched like the Harang of old and kept the Cubs at bay. Harang’s night began when he struck out the side in the 1st inning. He lasted until there were two ou...

Sun Shines Over Reds Country
Posted on 29 Apr 2010 by Dave Allen.
Sometimes, it’s all about taking care of the little things. Reds manager Dusty Baker, for the first time in his managerial career – so long as he can remember – did not make himself available to the media following last Saturday’s embarrassing loss to the Padres. It was as sloppy a game as you’ll ever see on a baseball field. Baker was livid with his players and rightfully so. He open...
