Joey Votto's bat is heating up and the past couple of games he's added a couple of home runs to go with his on-base percentage which is the second highest in the league. Though opponents limit offerings to Votto, he continues to find way to help the Reds win. http://reds.scout.com/2/1285727.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1285727.html Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:12:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The Reds and Marlins played a 13-inning contest yesterday with the Reds coming out the winning 3-2. Joey Votto plated both of their runs in regulation but the Marlins refused to let him deliver the game-winner and intentionally walked him before Shin-Sin Choo scored on Brandon Phillips’s sac fly. Zach Cozart entered the game with a hot bat but left with a hand injury after going 0-6. http://reds.scout.com/2/1285511.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1285511.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 09:00:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds Cincinnati entered this spring training without many questions but one of the big ones they had was the health of Joey Votto’s knee. Though comments from him indicate he’s needed a lot of extra work to prepare for their April 1 opener, the way he’s been hitting Cactus League pitching suggests he’s at least close to being back to 100%. http://reds.scout.com/2/1278058.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1278058.html Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:40:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The long baseball season has already started for the players as every team prepares for opening day. Cincinnati doesn’t expect a lot of turnover from their 97-win season last year but they will spend the next few weeks making final decisions for the opening day roster. Everyone enters the spring with a few questions and here are the answers the Reds have gotten thus far. http://reds.scout.com/2/1273785.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1273785.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:43:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds While the rest of the baseball world enjoys what figures to be an exciting world series Reds players will wonder what could have been. It is certainly motivation that will make them hungry build upon their 2012 success next year. Cincinnati is in an enviable position with their top players locked in long term and the bulk of their roster under contract for the next few seasons. http://reds.scout.com/2/1232472.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1232472.html Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:05:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds It wasn't long ago when Joe Mauer was considered the premier catcher in the game. He is a St. Paul native and was the face of the franchise when the Twins rewarded him with a long term deal. Now they've put him on waivers to check out the landscape for dumping his salary. This happened less than a year after three other teams committed $200M+ to first basemen. http://reds.scout.com/2/1216663.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1216663.html Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:41:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds Though the Reds have built a seven game lead in the NL Central, there is still a lot of anticipation for the return of slugger Joey Votto. Last night he made his first rehab appearance at Dayton. He plans to make another appearance for the Dragons Wednesday before joining the team in Houston. Meanwhile the Reds kept rolling as Johnny Cueto became MLB's first 17 game winner this season. http://reds.scout.com/2/1215943.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1215943.html Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:19:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds When Joey Votto went on the DL for a sugery to repair a torn meniscus last month the projected time of his return was 3-4 weeks. After traveling with the Reds and doing some rehab work he returned to Cincinnati Friday for a minor procedure to remove a cartilage chip in his injured knee. The Reds have gone 18-8 in Votto's absence and now do not expect him back until the second half of August. http://reds.scout.com/2/1210772.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1210772.html Sun, 12 Aug 2012 11:00:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds Perhaps no lineup in baseball depends on one player like Cincinnati does with Joey Votto. The All-Star first baseman will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. The Reds are currently leading the NL Central and will be leaning on everyone to pick up the slack during the slugger's absence. http://reds.scout.com/2/1202956.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1202956.html Tue, 17 Jul 2012 05:15:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds Lack of protection in the lineup has caused opponents to pitch around former MVP Joey Votto and limited his HR total to two through his first 32 games. Sunday he showed why that is not a bad option when he had the second three-homer game of his career capped off with a walk-off grand slam. http://reds.scout.com/2/1186158.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1186158.html Mon, 14 May 2012 02:24:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Small market Cincinnati ponied up like one of the big boys when they inked their star first baseman to a ten year extension. The Reds front office had already shown their willingness to roll the dice by signing Ryan Madson and trading top prospects to beef up the pitching rotation. Those moves pale in comparison to making Votto the fourth player in baseball history to receive a $200M+ contract. http://reds.scout.com/2/1174342.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1174342.html Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:32:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds The 2005 White Sox improved by 16 games over the 2004 iteration through some controversial personnel changes. Like those Sox, the 2009 Cincinnati Reds might make a similar leap over last year's squad despite the losses of Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey, and Jeremy Affeldt. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/848226.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/848226.html Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:55:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks According to sources, Ken Griffey Jr. has approved a deal to be shipped to the Chicago White Sox. The move will be good for Griffey and the Reds, writes Tyler Hissey. http://rays.scout.com/2/774038.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/774038.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:12:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Cincinnati Reds should shift their focus towards becoming a legitimate force in the future, though several of their potential trading chips are not exactly lighting up the rumor wire. If the opportunity is there for the Reds to cash a veteran in for a few promising prospect, they should take it, writes Tyler Hissey. With a strong nucleus intact, better days are ahead for Cincinnati. http://rays.scout.com/2/772361.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/772361.html Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:40:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Cincinnati Reds didn't make a big splash this offseason aside from the acquisition of stud closer Francisco Cordero. Nevertheless, they have a ton of young major league-ready talent, chips to trade in July, and a new manager with a history of instant success upon joining a ballclub. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/741851.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/741851.html Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:23:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks
