TJ Antone gave up a walk and a hit. Can’t bring him up because we know walks are the worst thing a reliever can allow. Oh, TJ didn’t give up any runs.
Over the last three months, Hinds has gotten his K% down to 28%. It is 25% so far in August. K to BB ratio has improved to 2.7 to 1 in that period. If he can keep that going, he may be a key piece to this team sometime next year. Certainly will claim a spot on the 40-man. Still just 22.
Hey Doug, how does Cade Hunter look on defense? I feel like if he was at least passable or average on defense, he may be the best catching prospect besides Duno
Kyle I think one problem in his development is he seems to DH and play the outfield more than he catches.
Not Doug, but the lesser known catcher I’d watch is Michael Trautwein. He passed Mat Nelson at Dayton and seems to be even or better with Vellojin at AA. Like Hunter, he plays outfield, too, and I think he’s had time at 1B. LH hitter, too.
Hey Doug. With all the new rules it’s tough to keep up with. But do reds have any chance of picking up another higher draft pick w the results of rookie of the yr? IE McLain
One of the criteria is that the rookie has to be on the 26-man roster for the entire season. McLain doesn’t meet that requirement.
Did I count wrong, or was yesterday the 30th day of Antone’s rehab? He has to be activated from the 60 day IL today.
His rehab assignment was extended by 10 days.
I missed that. I thought they were stuck to 30 days, unless theres a set back, but I don’t remember him “being returned from rehabilitation” or anything. Cool to know, thanks!
I read that pitchers having TJ surgery had a special designation for another 10 days. Anyone had to agree to it. Which makes sense in his case
Our 2024 AAA team should be stacked with talent since the Reds are already pretty full, and so many AA guys are also having great years. Obviously it’s hard to predict who’s going to be retained, traded, but no matter how that works out, it should be a talented team.

Duarte with 7th save at AAA.
Sandridge has my vote for the most improved player . His control is better and he has become nasty. Maybe an example of a guy who just took a little longer to get it. Unique story , a member of Orioles organization, released and gets amateur status back, pitches in college, then signs with Reds.
