2017 #1 Pick watch!

[chop2chip]

well, they have a lot of mediocrity, Trout and Calhoun on offense, and the 28th ranked pitching staff in MLB! their entire starting 5 is mostly hurt and aside from Shoemaker (who I think was sent down for a bit) they aren't doing much. Heck, their offense is at 10.4 WAR and Trout + Calhoun are 6.9 of that

It was more of a rhetorical question aimed at highlighting how incredible it is that they have the fourth worst record in baseball with a guy that's worth at least ten extra wins.

I was genuinely shocked to see how bad they have been this year.

And there has been a following on here to go after Scioscia.

Welp... I would have a second go around with the Fredster before I ever walked down that egomaniac's path.

Not surprisingly, the following was lead by zeets.

[DaneHill]

Gained ground on the Twins, Reds and Angels today. Good day.

 

[CJ9]

Been a lot of good series for us this week. LAA/TB, Minn/Oak and SD/AZ are all good for us regardless of who wins. The Reds stealing two from the Cubs was the cherry on top.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

I don't care who plays them, can never argue with a good Cubs loss

 

[JohnAdcox]

Anyone know what our magic number is?

 

[Tapate50]

I don't care who plays them, can never argue with a good Cubs loss

Or a Cardinals or Nats loss.

77

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Tampa is 3-21 in their last 24 games

 

[Heyward]

Should be 1.5 ahead heading into the break but Reds worry me.

Their pitching is AWFUL.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Yeah, kinda think we're gonna be pick 3 again :/

 

[nsacpi]

dont think we will make the top 3

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Tampa is coming on strong and is looking to sell off some of their prized pitchers.

Yeah, the Reds will probably take the #1 pick with that terrible pitching, particularly if they trade Bruce.
