During the past couple years, the Cincinnati Reds have been in the middle of a teardown. They have stockpiled a farm system that ranked 10th before the season. It is a gruesome grind for fans, but the outcome could be a World Series title. The front office’s direction is working, and soon the next good Reds team will come about.
The MLB Draft is a great place to start developing a core of players for the future. This one was no different. Unfortunately, I swung and missed on my predictions for the draft. With some young players already in the Major leagues, the system will supplement the Reds imminent success.
