but...here is the problem with this idea of blow the whole thing up, get rid of everybody, suck it up a few years and rebuild.....You are then raping your minor league system....You have to bring the minor league players to the majors at just the right time, it is an art. .....Players rushed from the minors to the majors often get blown away, shell shocked, and often possible careers are ruined by bringing minor league talent along to fast. ....You build for the future with the farm system, in the farm system. In places like Dayton and Louisville. ...You do NOT rush the minor league youth to the majors......and if you do, it not only doesn't help the major league Reds, but by raping your minors you are now way behind the 8 ball and it will take 5 years at least to rebuild the whole mess from Single A on up. .....This is why you don't fire scouts, this is why you don't gut your farm teams by dumping all your vets and rushing up your youth way to fast. .....and this is why you don't dump all the Reds roster and put all the Louisville Bats in Reds uniforms. ...The rebuilding job from such a bonehead move would take 5 years or more to recover from as they have to rebuild the farm system from the ground up......The real future of the Reds may indeed be in the farm system now, but bring them along right. When they are ready. When it is time. Don't be stupid about the farm system. ....So Reds can not get rid of all the veteran players, it would just kill the farm teams and any chance of winning in the upcoming years as people wish.....Yes, there will be players like Cueto traded no doubt....but the idea that if we can trade everybody, do it, that is just not a good move. Bringing all the players in the minors up a level across the board would ruin our farm system for at least 5 years. You rush these prospects and you ruin most of them and destroy the rebuilding instead of help it. The Reds have already had to rush a bunch of rookies into the starting rotation due to injuries to veterans. I hope they can handle it because I've seen a lot of careers ruined over players brought to the Bigs to fast and to soon.....The real future lies in bringing the farm system players along at the right time, only when they are ready.
and that is a huge difference than Bengals because NFL has no farm system.....a whole different game.....baseball needs the farm systems. Most players must be developed over years in the minors....and why we can't unload all our vets if possible. Pete Rose and the 1975 Reds gave a lot of the credit to the quality coaches and scouts in the Reds farm system that brought them along right. So who is to say when a minor league player is ready for the Bigs ? The quality coaches and scouts working in the minors are the best to say if a player is ready to move from A to Double A or Double A to Triple A or the huge jump to the Bigs....It's nothing you rush in a blow it all up youth movement.
Frazier could be the Reds third baseman for the next 5 to 10 years, and I see no great need to rush him out the door as an OLD 30 as they did Frank Robinson as an OLD 30.....as Reds got Pappas and a lot of cash,cash, cash.... and Frank Robinson won the Triple Crown in Baltimore and it was almost fitting he helped beat the Reds in the 1970 World Series. ....You would think Frank Robinson is enough for Cincinnati to throw out the OLD 30 SO TRADE HIM idea. .....Frazier could and should be our third baseman into his late 30's.....Any trade involving Frazier should include one of the TOP 5 Prospects in baseball by the other team, and even then, I feel like we are getting the short end of the deal.
