During nearly all of that time is that he has continued to throw the ball for the first pitch every fifth day. He was the first starting pitcher in over twenty years to bypass the minor leagues before his MLB debut and is just now entering what should be the peak years of his career. http://reds.scout.com/2/1293595.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1293595.html Wed, 22 May 2013 06:07:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Still only in the month of May, the Reds are soon coming to a second decision-making time for their rotation. In the first one they opted to leave Aroldis Chapman in his closer role. Now Johnny Cueto is working to return from the DL while replacement, prospect Tony Cingrani, has impressed in his absence. http://reds.scout.com/2/1290667.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1290667.html Fri, 10 May 2013 06:35:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds After a year of superb relief the Cincinnati bullpen came into this season with unusual depth. That and a limited number of spots ensured that a good pitcher would not be on the opening day roster and many were surprised when said pitcher turned out to be Jose Arredondo. He cleared waivers and started at Louisville after posting a sub-three ERA in 2012. http://reds.scout.com/2/1288474.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1288474.html Wed, 01 May 2013 16:10:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Cincinnati had one of the top run-producing lineups in the NL before they ran into the Washington rotation. Now the Reds are still seeking their first win of their road series after the Nationals one-hit them in the first two contests of the four-game set. http://reds.scout.com/2/1287357.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1287357.html Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:40:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The Reds won a 1-0 game last night to take their series from the Cubs and remain on pace with the Cardinals for the NL Central Lead. Latos is staring the season with a much better April than he's had in the past and Cincinnati is giving indications they will remain in the hunt for a another division crown despite being hit hard with early injuries. http://reds.scout.com/2/1286732.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1286732.html Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:51:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The Reds took over first in the NL Central after winning 6 of their last 7 games. 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 Kiley welcomes Baseball Prospectus editor Ben Lindbergh and interviews Rockies 2012 first round pick CF David Dahl. After Kiley sets the tone by blindsiding Ben with a pair of gotcha! questions, they talk Mark Appel's financial future, shoehorning Carlos Marmol jokes into conversation and how their subsconsciouses can't scout their way out of a paper bag. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1284335.html 2047 Kiley McDaniel http://sbb.scout.com/2/1284335.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 07:54:00 GMT 0 381 Scouting Baseball sbb The Cincinnati rotation did not miss a start last year but that streak is now in jeopardy as Johnny Cueto is expected to go on the DL with a strained lat muscle. Though it’s a severe blow to Cincinnati early season aspirations, Reds fans are hopeful it won’t be long term and it will likely give opportunity for minor league dominator Tony Cingrani to show what he’s ready to do at the MLB level. http://reds.scout.com/2/1283692.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1283692.html Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:38:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The Reds rotation was fortunate last season to avoid any serious injuries until Johnny Cueto’s mild oblique strain threw a curve into their postseason rotation plans. Now they are awaiting results of an examination on Cueto who left in the fifth inning last night with a pain in his triceps. http://reds.scout.com/2/1283467.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1283467.html Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:28:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds Coming into the 2013 season the Reds appeared to be blessed with great bullpen depth. That will be tested early in the year as their top lefty set-up man, Sean Marshall, went on the DL yesterday with tendonitis in his shoulder. Veteran Logan Ondrusek was recalled from AA to replace him in time to allow a run in his first appearance of the season last night. http://reds.scout.com/2/1282709.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1282709.html Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:48:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The Reds got little production from their reserve infielders in 2012 and negotiated Jason Donald's inclusion into the trade that brought them Shin-Sin Choo. After losing the utility infielder job on the opening day roster to Cesar Izturis, he's started off strong at Louisville to get in position for a promotion should the 33 year-old veteran falter. http://reds.scout.com/2/1281498.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1281498.html Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:18:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Multiple sources are reporting that the Dodgers are sending Harang to Colorado for a backup backstop. http://dodgers.scout.com/2/1281388.html 2047 Jared Massey http://dodgers.scout.com/2/1281388.html Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:03:00 GMT 0 283 LA Dodgers dodgers The Reds re-vamped their lineup over the season by acquiring Shin-Soo Choo to lead off and re-signing Ryan Ludwick to clean up releasing Brandon Phillips to move into the number two slot ahead of Joey Votto. Just two games into the season that plan has been put on hold from Ludwick’s injury and it appears Phillips will once again get pulled back into the fourth slot. http://reds.scout.com/2/1280389.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1280389.html Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:21:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Cincinnati opened its season with a 3-1 home loss to the Angels in 13 innings. A bigger loss may turn out to be cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick pending MRI results from a dislocated shoulder he suffered in the opener. http://reds.scout.com/2/1279993.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1279993.html Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:38:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The 2013 MLB season opened last night and everyone is now down to their final 25 man active roster to begin the season. Cincinnati had some tough decisions to make in a crowded bullpen and they rewarded J.J. Hoover’s strong spring with a spot by sending veteran Jose Arredondo to Louisville. Cesar Izturis grabbed the final infield job after coming to the Reds on a minor league contract. http://reds.scout.com/2/1279673.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1279673.html Mon, 01 Apr 2013 10:05:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds Opening day has always been a big deal in Cincinnati and there’s additional reason for excitement this year as the Reds are coming off a 97-win campaign and have legitimate championship aspirations. They return a strong pitching staff and an upgraded lineup as they set out for deep postseason run in 2013. http://reds.scout.com/2/1279522.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1279522.html Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:42:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds At this stage of his career Kristopher Negron is probably known more for his minor league experience than upside projections. The Reds re-signed him to provide depth at Louisville and he acquitted himself well in limited Cactus League action. An injury in the outfield provided his MBL debut last year and the utilityman will continue to work for another opportunity in 2013. http://reds.scout.com/2/1278305.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1278305.html Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:50:00 GMT 1 262 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 Kiley brings us video of arguably the top pitching prospect in this year's July 2nd market, Mayky Perez. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1277783.html 2047 Kiley McDaniel http://sbb.scout.com/2/1277783.html Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:28:00 GMT 0 381 Scouting Baseball sbb
