For as enjoyable as it is to cruise through these rankings and marvel at the talent the Cincinnati Reds have assembled on their farm, it’s certainly a vibe-check to realize we’ve reached spot #8 on the list before finally getting to a player projected to break camp with the big league club after spring training.
