Id put Homer Bailey in the rotation

We had a long run of busted first and second round draft picks. I can't bare to look at it or I'd post some of them. The recent drafts are on this site if anyone wants to grab some names. I don't feel like puking just this minute or I'd do it.

Pokey Reese.

I think Ken Griffey, Jr. should head the list.

Overall, I like it. But there wasn't high hopes for some of those guys. I probably wouldn't have included Kearns either but I like it.

I wouldnt consider him a total bust, the guys body broke down.

the guys body broke down.
===========================

That's why he's a bust.

He had a few good years in Cincy, a disappointment yes... But I wouldnt put him in the same class with these guys..

You wouldn't.

I would.

I hate him.

The end.

Ok, fair enough..

I hate Dusty, the only person to wear a Red uniform that I have hated.

Although Corey Patterson ranks up there.

Who was that college quarterback we got from the Yankees? A 3B. He could make two teams' lists.

Crosley

Drew Henson?

Dude Erik Owens was a monster!!!! Nah, I grew up in Ferrum where he went to college and when

I was like 10 he gave my whole family tickets behind homeplate and passes to take the family

elevator. I got to meet Reggie and Deon Sanders, Barry Larkin, and Eddie Taubensee, plus Jeff Kent

from the Giants. For that he'll always be my favorite Red not named Pete.

That would be him.

yes your right...maybe it was me having the high hopes..lol, I thought about Kal Daniels too but he did have some good years with the Dodgers too.

yup. thanks.

While he may have put up decent numbers, some clown thought he could replace Tony Perez and thus killed the Big Red Machine.

Mr. Wagner is the one man that I think could give Mike Brown a run for the title of "most despised person in Cincinnati."

What about Wily Mo? Supposedly a 5 tool guy if I remember the quote from "Old Leatherpants".

That's really unbelievable. 14 guys. There's not much more than 14 seasons of major league ball between them. Austin Kearns was the best first rounder in 14 years? You might as well just draft the local high school team.
