First of all, i do not consider myself a DIEHARD Reds fan. I like it when they win, and hate it when they lose. I follow the reds and keep somewhat track in the farm systems. Living in Dayton, i can goto Dragons games and see some of the talent coming up. Now, onto my takee

BRING YOUR TALENT UP!!!! Thats pretty simple. If you are going to lose for 7(?) straight seasons, at least bring your young people up and get their feet wet in the Majors. Instead you want to abide by all the millionaires wishess and keep them in, if they can play or not(Dunn....Griffey) Isnt that why we traded Hamilton??? The "VETERENS" didnt want to give up their spot to a young guy who was OBVIOUSLY proving himself. Jay Bruce is a BEAST on the feild, and we can bring him up because we cant put him in without catching crap from them.
Another good point Lance made, maybe we, the fans, arent ready to see a bunch of young guys on the field. But the thing you gotta remember, everyone had to make a start sometime. everyone is a rookie at one point or another. So if this season is a loss already, which its looking like that more and more, let the vets realize, THEY HAVE TO WORK FOR THEIR JOB! its not a guarantee.

The thing i want to see is our young guys that we bring up through our systems. Each one of our Minor systems have winning records. The must be good... right?????
