Updating the Top 100: Raisel Iglesias
Kareem Elgazzar, Cincinnati Enquirer via Imagn Content Services, LLC I know this is simplistic and perhaps a bit overstated, but I think it applies here: relief pitchers just don’t pitch very much. I remind myself of this when looking at Raisel Iglesias and his wonderful comeback dominance of 2020. After the 2018 season, we looked at Iglesias’s home run rates and said that he was lucky to keep his ERA down so low. And then we looked at 2019 and said see we were right. And we thought he was done. And now, 2020 looks like a return to his breakout numbers from 2017 and everything is...

Cincinnati Reds: Remembering the 1990 World Series
The wire-to-wire Reds were one of the best teams in franchise history. October 20, 1990. I can’t imagine what was going on that night in Oakland as the Cincinnati Reds prepared to battle the A’s.

Updating the Top 100: Jesse Winker
Sam Greene/The Enquirer via Imagn Content Services, LLC If someone were to ask you which Cincinnati Reds player do you wish you could have seen play a full season instead of the partial 60-game season, there are only two acceptable answers. The first correct answer is Trevor Bauer, who was on pace for the most dominant season by a Reds starting pitcher since Jose Rijo in 1993. How little was Bauer pacing himself in 2020 is a legitimate question and it would have been fascinating to watch a full 6-month run out of Bauer. The other possible answer is Jesse Winker, who provided one of the...

Cincinnati Reds announce GM Nick Krall as head of Baseball Operations
Photo by Joe Robbins/ A front office promotion, or consolidation? It came as a bit of a surprise to many of us when Dick Williams stepped down as Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations nearly two weeks ago. The Reds, you’ll recall, had just made the playoffs again for the first time since the signing of the Magna Carta, and were seemingly just beginning a run that ownership and the front office had invested in heavily just last winter. While the precise direction where the Reds headed next was, and still is a bit of a mystery in the wake of that news, we found out Monday...

Updating the Top 100: Luis Castillo
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports A bunch of years ago, I wrote a series of player capsules in which I attempted to rank the top 100 players in Cincinnati Reds history. Trying to balance career totals, peak quality, and consistency of performance, I made a list and have subsequently updated that list. The most current ranking is linked here. The next several days will provide my 2020 updates, including any “honorable mention” players (think top 250 or so). Any disagreements with the existing list or updates should be directed to Wick. Major League Baseball has a long history with such...
