Cincinnati Reds' MLB.COM Improved NL Central poses challenge to retooled Reds Cincinnati has addressed shortcomings, but so have division foes January 16, 2013, 2:41 PM ET By Mark Sheldon CINCINNATI -- Not content with exiting the postseason as early as they did in 2012, the Reds made the effort this winter to fill holes and make upgrades. Theoretically, the additions should have the Reds improved and poised to repeat as National League Central champions. But of course, it's rarely that easy. Many of Cincinnati's rivals have been busy, too. "I still think the division will be tough," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "We have to stay healthy and play like we have been playing." While finishing 97-65 and winning the division by nine games over the Cardinals, the Reds were bounced in five games by the Giants as some of their weaknesses were exposed. Cincinnati lacked a true leadoff hitter, another dominant-type starter for the rotation and help on the bench. In their biggest move of the offseason, the Reds found their leadoff hitter by working a three-way trade that acquired outfielder Shin-Soo Choo from the Indians. It cost them no pitching but sent underperforming center fielder Drew Stubbs to Cleveland and shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius to Arizona. Reds leadoff hitters combined for a .254 on-base percentage in 2012 and Choo had a .389 OBP when he led off last season. For its riskiest move of the offseason, the club has decided to try moving lefty flamethrower Aroldis Chapman from closer to the rotation. There's a feeling that Chapman can be a No. 1 or No. 2 type of starter, and the Reds are willing to take the plunge to find out. That meant Trade Deadline acquisition and reliever Jonathan Broxton was re-signed to a three-year, $21 million deal and will be installed as the new closer. Other key moves brought back left fielder Ryan Ludwick with a two-year, $15 million contract and acquired free-agent infielder and lefty hitter Jack Hannahan for two years at $4 million. Otherwise, the core of the Reds roster is largely unchanged. While there were no massive Blue Jays-like makeovers by any team in the NL Central, there were some GMs that were equally as aggressive as Jocketty in addressing shortcomings. "I think Pittsburgh improved a lot," Jocketty said. "They worked to improve their club in the second half of last season and over this winter. The Cardinals didn't do much to improve on what they already have. Milwaukee added a lot to its bullpen and already had a good offense. The Cubs made a lot of moves as they transition." The Brewers, featuring Ryan Braun and Corey Hart, led the NL in home runs and runs scored last season. But while the team had a decent but not great rotation, its relievers were a black eye while having the league's worst bullpen ERA. Milwaukee did what it had to do this winter and tried to fix that issue. It signed two lefties in Michael Gonzalez (one year, $2.25 million) and Tom Gorzelanny (two years, $5.7 million). GM Doug Melvin also acquired right-hander Burke Badenhop in a trade with the Rays. "It's a lot of young studs," Gonzalez said. "I've come from, on paper, the best team two years in a row, and I've learned that the best team doesn't always win. You just have to have a team that can get to the playoffs. If you can get to the playoffs, it's anybody's game. I definitely feel Milwaukee has what it takes to get to the playoffs." The Pirates' claim to fame the past two seasons are fast starts and even faster fades out of the race. They already have budding superstar Andrew McCutchen and some promising young talent. Now they're trying to finally get over the hump while notching their first winning season in two decades. Pittsburgh, which already traded for lefty Wandy Rodriguez from Houston and outfielder Travis Snider from Toronto last summer and added a new catcher in former All-Star Russell Martin. To get Martin, who only hit .211 for the Yankees last season but hit 21 homers, the Pirates reportedly outbid New York and others by signing him to a two-year, $17 million contract. In a blockbuster six-player trade around Christmas, the Pirates shed star closer Joel Hanrahan but added young talent. They acquired closer Mark Melancon, power hitter Jerry Sands, pitching prospect Stolmy Pimentel and infielder Ivan DeJesus Jr. While losing one anchor to the back of the bullpen, the Pirates retained another by re-signing Jason Grilli after he enjoyed a solid 2012. The Cubs are coming off of a 101-loss season and even with promising first baseman Anthony Rizzo, this team has a ways to go toward a contender. But that didn't stop president Theo Epstein and his front office from being frisky with moves. Solid free-agent right-hander Edwin Jackson signed a four-year, $52 million contract. Chicago also added pitchers Scott Baker and Scott Feldman on one-year deals, agreed to terms with Carlos Villanueva on a two-year deal and signed Japanese product Kyuji Fujikawa. Outfielder Nate Schierholtz also signed to add some left-handed pop. "Our goal here is to build a consistently good team ... and hopefully a team that wins a championship," Cubs GM Jed Hoyer said. "In order to do that, we're not going to sacrifice the future now for wins. But at the same time, every season is precious, and you never know when that team might catch lightning in a bottle. You never want to sacrifice that season entirely." The Cardinals are being mentioned last, only because they did the least with their offseason thus far. Their only free-agent additions were journeymen in lefty specialist reliever Randy Choate and utility player Ty Wiggington. St. Louis lost 16-game winner Kyle Lohse and power hitter Lance Berkman to free agency and traded away second baseman Skip Schumaker. But this is not a Cardinals team lacking in talent after gaining a Wild Card berth and reaching the NL Championship Series in 2012. They are just depending on more contributions from their younger players and better health from the core players. And when that core includes Matt Holliday, Yadier Molina and David Freese in the lineup, Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright and Jaime Garcia in the rotation and Jason Motte closing, St. Louis cannot be discounted. Last year, it was second in the league in runs scored and third in rotation ERA. Some X-factors remain for all five teams. First, none of them will have that sixth team -- the rebuilding Astros -- to kick around anymore. Houston is now in the American League West. Also, the offseason isn't over yet. There are free agents on the market and potential bargains to be had before camps open next month. The Reds aren't expected to add much more, if anything. They have a consistent pitching staff with 19-game winner Johnny Cueto at the top of a good rotation and return with last season's best bullpen in baseball. They expect to have a healthy Joey Votto for a full season, plus Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips, and have Todd Frazier taking over at third base. And they now have the consistent Choo leading off. Now, here's the question that can't be answered by the Reds until play actually begins: Do they have enough to repeat? The other clubs have done their best to make sure they don't. "I think there will be lots of competition," Jocketty said. ESPN.COM Top five 25-year-olds in MLB January 16, 2013, 10:44 AM ET By Keith Law Last week, I unveiled my top 25 players under the age of 25. Previously, I had ranked the top big leaguers "25 and under," and the change in age cutoff generated a lot of questions from readers about where certain 25-year-old players would rank if I included them on the main list. Here's a quick look at the top big leaguers who are age 25 today, in order, along with where they'd rank if I merged them into the 25-under-25 list. 1. Buster Posey, C, San Francisco Giants Posey emerged in 2012 not just as one of the best players of his age cohort but one of the best players in baseball, period. He would have ranked third on my "25 under 25" list behind Mike Trout and Bryce Harper, primarily because of the higher injury risk associated with catchers -- a risk with which Posey is, unfortunately, already familiar. (Of course, if you're making me king for a day, enforcing the rules on obstruction and interference at the plate would be high on my list of official edicts.) Posey came into surprising power this year to go with his ability to hit for average and get on base, and he remains a very good defensive catcher who can limit the running game. (Remember the concern that he couldn't catch good velocity? Me neither.) He also played a remarkable amount for a catcher, and the Giants were wise to sneak him over to first base to get some extra at-bats for their best hitter without overtaxing his rebuilt leg. If he didn't have an injury history at a position that is inherently injury-prone, I'd put him first on the list, but catchers don't have the same shelf lives that elite players at other positions do, and even when healthy, they rarely reach the 600-plate-appearance mark as Posey did last year.

    A’s News Clips, Thursday, March 3, 2011 A's outfielder Coco Crisp arrested on suspicion of DUI By Joe Stiglich Oakland Tribune A's center fielder Coco Crisp was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Wednesday morning, according to an A's news release. Crisp was detained and taken to City of Scottsdale Jail before being released Wednesday morning. He showed up to Phoenix Municipal Stadium on time to join the team for pre-game drills and was in uniform -- but not in the lineup -- for a game against the Cleveland Indians. Crisp declined to comment when asked about the situation, saying he would address the media "in due time." "The A's are aware of the situation and take such matters seriously," the A's statement read. "The team and Coco will have no further comment until further details are available." Crisp, 31, is in his second season with the A's and is slated to play center field and be the leadoff hitter. Ironically, the A's held a security meeting with Major League Baseball officials before taking the field Wednesday. A message that is stressed in the annual meeting is having awareness of the off-field dangers that exist for professional athletes. Crisp signed with the A's as a free agent in December 2009. He hit .279 with eight homers and 38 RBIs last season but played in just 75 games because of a fractured pinkie and strained rib cage muscle. Crisp posts frequently on his Twitter account and often makes reference to his nighttime socializing.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.

    DICK HOWSER TROPHY COMMITTEE Contact: Bo Carter ([email protected]) June 15, 2019 OREGON STATE’S RUTSCHMAN NAMED 2019 DICK HOWSER TROPHY RECIPIENT OMAHA, Neb. – Catcher Adley Rutschman of Oregon State is the 33rd recipient of the Dick Howser Trophy, presented by The Game Headwear, as college baseball's Player of the Year. The announcement came at a national news conference Saturday morning at TD Ameritrade Stadium as OSU’s first winner of the prestigious award met with a group of national media. He is the first Beavers player honored with the Howser Trophy, which originated in 1987. Rutschman also is the fourth recipient to be the first overall selection in the Major League Baseball free agent draft and capture the award, joining Clemson pitcher Kris Benson (1996), Vanderbilt pitcher David Price (2007) and San Diego State pitcher Steve Strasburg (2008). Rutchsman was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the opening player in last week’s draft. The 2019 consensus first team All-America choice was honored in voting by the Howser Trophy committee and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He is the second all-time winner from the Pac-12 Conference after Mark Prior of Southern California captured the 2001 honor. Rutschman, a 6-2, 216-pound switch hitting and righty throwing junior catcher from Sherwood, Ore., also was the 2019 Pac-12 Player of the Year, the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, and a finalist for the Buster Posey Award, which honors the nation’s top catcher in 2019 and is named in honor of the 2008 Dick Howser Trophy recipient.
