Aaron Harang

When a baseball team drafts a player who rejects a full-ride scholarship to play wide receiver for a major college football team, it's safe to assume the kid is fast.  When that football team is from the best conference in the country (SEC), it's safe to say the kid can flat-out boot scoot as well as any major leaguer.  That's exactly what the Cincinnati Reds did with their second round (57th overall) selection in 2009. Billy Hamilton's speed...  

Baseball is often called "America's pastime." Since the 19th century, baseball has been one America's most popular sports. Unfortunately, baseball has always had a messy relationship with race and the Cincinnati Reds are no exception The Reds, founded in 1882, were the first professional baseball team, but its members have frequently lacked racial harmony.

He is due to [...]  

It has now been 14 years since the Cincinnati Reds and their fans last felt the excitement of postseason baseball.  A final record of 78-84 made 2009 the ninth consecutive losing season for the Reds.  The season started fairly well before injuries and a lack of consistent hitting began to take their toll.

While Scott Rolen is still in the "honeymoon" stage with the Reds, I will be evaluating him on a 40-game season. His hitting is better than average, which should be expected for a .284 lifetime hitter. He didn't exhibit the power that I was so hopeful he would. Three home runs in a quarter of the season make it elementary enough to do the math; 12 home runs would not cut it for a corner infielder. He had a decent OBP as well at .364. With the...  

A 22-year-old Most Valuable Player named Johnny Bench. One of the greatest second basemen of all-time, Joe Morgan. An outfielder named Cy Seymour who missed out on the Triple Crown by a single home run.

From its first World Series victory in 1919 to four trips to the fall classic under Sparky Anderson in the 70s, the Reds have a...

For good or bad, Paul Janish inherited the position of shortstop after Alex Gonzalez was sent to Boston. Janish fits the description of "slick fielding, weak hitter" all to well. His defense has been sterling this season, as he has committed only three errors in 82 games. In a 10-game stretch from August 23 through September 1, Janish batted .333 with one home run and nine RBI. During that run, he was 14-for-42. That was the highlight of the...
