CLEVELAND – Before last weekend’s Futures Game, Reds top prospect Taylor Trammell was asked to describe his season at Double-A Chattanooga.

Trammell began by saying it was “great,” before he decided to change his answer. His .374 on-base percentage ranks seventh in the Southern League, but he has the lowest slugging percentage of his career (.340).

“It’s been an up-and-down year,” said Trammell, who dealt with a left hamstring strain last month.
