Locked On Reds - Daily Podcast On The Cincinnati Reds

How close is Nick Lodolo? What is the value of taking a starting pitching prospect and putting him the major league bullpen for some reps? Will Jonathan India live up to his draft slot? Jeff asks these questions, and more, on today's podcast featuring Aram Leighton from Locked On MLB Prospects. They also talk a bit about Austin Hendrick, Rece Hinds, and a name or two you either didn't know or may have forgotten.

These reports about Luis Castillo going elsewhere got Jeff wondering what the values would look like, so he reached out to John Bitzer from baseballtradevalues.com and John agreed to come on the podcast and discuss. They look at how the website gets its player values and how that can help us, as fans, understand the Reds moves somewhat better. He also talks about the divide in the phantom trade reports of Castillo and why the value was so far off.

From 1882 to 1889 the Cincinnati Reds had another word added to their name and played in a league not named the National League. Jeff looks at these teams, including the championship team from 1882, on today's podcast. He talks about a startling performance by a pitcher, some homerless hitting, and even a stray dog affecting a game. He also takes a look at a rookie Marty Brenneman calling Hammering Hank's 714th home run in honor of the passing of the Home Run King, Hank Aaron.

Last year the Reds hit .212 as a team. Some position groups did better than others, but no one position group could have been considered as good.

Reports were the deal was done and Luis Castillo was headed to New York. Reports were wrong. Luis Castillo is still a Red and it looks like the rumored exodus of the team's core will remain just that, a rumor. Jeff breaks down exactly what went down on Sunday. He also looks at some Jeff's Junk Mail, including some free agent relief pitching options and what if the other NL Central teams make some moves?

Are all these under-the-radar moves ones to be ignored, or something more? Jeff looks at the idea of #Spincinnati, what it means, and who it puts the most pressure on. He also looks at the one thing, regardless of Spincinnati, that the Reds must do in order to continue their momentum of contention (whatever level it may be at).
