Keith Law on Aroldis Chapman Keith Law is a pretty objective analyst, possibly even a bit on the negative side, and definitely not a guy who buys into hype. Keeping that in mind, here are his thoughts on Chapman after watching him pitch: -------- I got my first live look at Aroldis Chapman on Monday in a game in Goodyear, Ariz., that was ... 9 Mar 2010 18:11

2009 pitchers.... "Order by number of starts taken....Harang, Arroyo, Volques, Cueto, Owings, Bailey" Arroy, Cueto, Harang, Bailey, Owings, Volquez Nobody got the top two in order. Most of us thought that either Harang or Volquez would be up there. "Which reds pitcher will get Cy Young Ballots?" We voted for Harang and Volq... 2 Mar 2010 18:11
2009 questions...the outfield "Order by playing time (meaning total at bats) Gomes, Dickerson, Taveres, Hopper, Jones, Ward" Notice that Laynce Nix didn't even make my list. At this time list year, nobody thought he would get significant playing time. The only outfielder with more at bats than Laynce was willy. Taveres, Gomes, Dickerson.... 2 Mar 2010 18:11
2009 questions...the infield. "At the end of 2008 Joey Votto was coming along like gangbusters. During the 08 draft the reds drafted a first baseman with their first pick. At the end of 09 will you want Yonder or Joey to be the reds first baseman of the future?" Tuff Gong was the only one that rose to the bait and suggested that Yonder... 3 Mar 2010 16:30
Greatest Moments In Cubs History Here are my picks for the Greatest Moments in Chicago Cubs History. I wanted to have 13 of them - because that just seemed like an appropriate number, considering it's the Cubs - but I couldn't decide on one of the following to cut, so there are 14 instead:: In 1942 - Lennie Merullo (the Cubs' shortstop) sets a... 1 Mar 2010 23:14
Dickerson not happy Here's the other hot topic with the Reds. Dickerson's comments that he deserves a shot at the CF job and Baker's usual silly rationalizations. http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2010/02/27/dickerson-v-baker/ ... 6 Mar 2010 20:44
2010 Lineup Just read this on the Enquirer, the probable top six: Drew Stubbs Orlando Cabrera Joey Votto Brandon Phillips Scott Rolen Jay Bruce Stubbs leads off because he's a centerfielder, and this is a Dusty Baker team. Cabrera bats second because he's a shortstop, and this is a Dusty Baker team. Votto bats third... 3 Mar 2010 16:30
Billy Bray? Anybody know the latest on this once promising southpaw? He may have to be that late inning lefty guy if Rhodes shows his age. The key to Rhodes I think is just using him sparingly. The one thing Dusty did right last year IMO. ... 9 Mar 2010 17:02

Reds 2010? They basically look like the same team as last year sans Encarnacion and Taveras. Will Rolen, the new shortstop and Stubbs make huge differences for this team offensively? Will Phillips and Votto continue to be staples of the offense? Has this team improved defensively enough to stop making the mental mistake... 28 Feb 2010 15:40
Reds Sign Harang To Minor League Deal Couldn't resist that subject line. Of course, that's Daryl Harang, Aaron's 27-year old southpaw brother who was a 23rd-round pick of the Blue Jays in '04 and pitched for York in the Atlantic League last year, going 10-12 with a 4.08 ERA in 23 starts and 10 relief appearances. He fanned 85 and walked 45 in 154 i... 26 Feb 2010 13:10
Gomes a red again Intertube says Gomes is in Goodyear undergoing a physical as a precursor to signing with the reds. Reports are unclear if its a major league or minor league deal. ... 22 Feb 2010 21:00
ESPN Insider says .... Gomes is close to signing a minor league deal with the Reds -- but he's taking a last look around for a different deal. I like what he brought to the plate last year -- but I don't he think he is what pushes the team into the playoffs -- I do think he deserves a job somewhere though. Part of me wishes they ... 26 Feb 2010 14:18
