All-time Reds team

Pretty good selections at Bleacher Report.  The case could probably be made for Bucky Walters or Paul Derringer in their prime as starting pitcher.  Seaver was probably the best pitcher to ever pitch for the Reds (for more than one game, a la Christy Mathewson, who was traded by the Reds for Amos Rusie in 1900-worst trade ever), even though he didn't have career numbers those years.  Also, Mario Soto was a super pitcher on a bunch of terrible teams.  George Foster in 1977 and 1978 could break into the lineup, and Edd Roush was pretty good.  Perez would have a pretty good case for first base if you could come up with a replacement for him at third (Pete, maybe).  Lombardi would have been the starter on many teams at catcher.  Please correct me in the comments.

  3. Sorry, I should say, for a guy who's kids are Cubs fans, you project a lot.

  4. I was really looking for comments about the All-time team, not spurrious attacks on my rooting interest. All I can tell anyone about the Cubs is that they suck and their fans are obnoxious.
