2017 REDS FANTASY FRANCHISE

TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS...

Ownership and manager Rocco have decide to try something different, both feel it is a shame that there are some veteran players that are in Triple A that can play and be supportive bench players, but may be blocked by guys on the Major League team. These are guys who probably could make another big league team, but like being part of the Reds organization and want to be part of the new RED'S DYNASTY (Hopefully). Mostly of these guys have some sort of big league experience. These are guys that the ownership likes and wants to see them at least play a little bit in the BIGS.

So a plan to rotate supporting player through out the season, every 10 games or so, not just when a major league player gets injured. This plan was laid out to everyone and most seem to like it. There are a few who seem upset about the idea, we think their morale will come around during the season.

So in the first rotation, RP Logan Ondrusek, C Tucker Barnhart, 2B Jose Peraza and LF Aadam Duvall were sent to Triple A Louisville Bats for the next 10 days. And SP/RP Tim Adleman, C Ryan Hanigan, SS Paul Janish and CF Hernan Iribarren will join the Reds.

The idea too is the guys going down will get a little more playing time, keeping their pitches sharp and their bats loose. While the call ups get a little bit more experience in the big leagues and might not be such an adjustment if they are called up due to an injury.

That is at least the plan, ownership will be keeping a close eye on all aspects to see how it works out.

Did you hear that? Ownership is watching you...watching you.
