There was a point when the Big Red Machine was taken apart. Players were traded away, or let go through free agency, and it all had to end. That doesn't compare to the frustration that is being wrought at Great American Ballpark, currently.
The Tony Perez trade signaled the end of an era, but at least there were recent successes for Reds fans to hang their hats on. As it currently stands, the Reds have been next-to irrelevant for the better part of 30 years...and it seems like we're being told to wait a little longer.
There's also another news outlet crowning Jonathan India the NL Rookie of the Year, now all that's left is the big one. Jeff Ruby is doing his best to bring Nick Castellanos back to Cincinnati, but will it be enough? And Nick Lodolo had an interesting year in the minors but looks poised to compete for a spot in the Reds starting rotation. What is it that is keeping him from being a lock?
