The Reds’ Real Culture Problem | Steve Mancuso

1987 was Eric Davis’ best season. His combination of power, speed and defense produced 7.9 WAR at age 25. That’s the highest single-season total for any Reds position player since. He mashed 37 homers, stole 50 bases and drew 84 walks. Davis won a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger.

It was also the year the Irish rock band U2 released Running to Stand Still on the Joshua Tree album. It’s the tune that popped into my head every time I sat down to write this post. I guess the title resonated with how I saw the actions of Reds management the past few weeks.
