Now that Daryl Thompson is pitching in the majors, it's time once again to nominate the next big thing in the Reds organization... Do we as reds fans skip a few qualified players and look to the likes of Yonder Alonso. Is Todd Frazier the next in line to receive praise so high no rookie can live up to them. Is Chris Valakia the chosen one that will lead our once great franchise to world series victory.
I having no inside knowledge to draw upon but think the youth movement has run its course for the year. I believe that Drew Stubbs gets a long look during next year's spring training and has an outside chance of making the ball club. He's got great speed, can certainly play a major league caliber CF, and is a right handed bat.
Any players i've forgotten, please let me know...


I think the Reds have like you said let the youth movement run it's course for this year. I am not in depth with my knowledge of the Reds farm system, but I'm sure they have some guys in the pipeline for the next couple years. My concern though is finding adequate replacements for the likes of Jr. and Dunn and Freel who will probably not be here next year.
