For a team on a budget, this is how you're supposed to get things done.
With a largely homegrown lineup and pitching staff, the Reds rolled to 97
wins and a National League Central title in 2012, the second-best record in
the majors and the club's most wins since the Big Red Machine won 102 games
and a World Series in 1976.
Cincinnati didn't have the money to make a big splash on the free-agent
market, and it didn't need to. At $2 million, Ryan Ludwick was the most
expensive free-agent acquisition to make the 25-man roster.
After cultivating a talented farm system, the Reds are reaping the dividends,
with homegrown players like Jay Bruce, Johnny Cueto and Joey Votto serving as
franchise cornerstones. Before the season, they traded prospects Yonder
Alonso, Yasmani Grandal and Brad Boxberger to the Padres to acquire Mat
Latos, adding another frontline starter to pair with Cueto. Rookies played
key roles in Cincinnati as well, with Zack Cozart holding down the everyday
shortstop job and Todd Frazier hitting 19 homers while playing first base,
third base and left field.
It all culminated in the Reds' second division title in three years, after
what had been a 15-year playoff drought. While the NL Division Series against
the Giants ended in disappointment, as Cincinnati won the first two games in
San Francisco before losing the last three, the team is positioned for
long-term success and was recognized as Baseball America's Organization of
the Year.
The revitalization has been slow and steady. The Reds had one of the
least-talented systems in baseball for most of the late 1990s and much of the
early 2000s, largely because of poor drafts. From 1992-2003, outfielder
Austin Kearns was their only first-round pick who became a multiyear regular
in Cincinnati.
Since then, the Reds have rarely missed on their top picks. In fact, every
first-rounder from 2004-10 has become a big league regular, with the
exception of Devin Mesoraco, who's still expected to after ranking No. 1 on
this list a year ago. Former scouting director Terry Reynolds (2004-05) and
successor Chris Buckley (2006-present) have produced a series of productive
drafts while rarely stretching the budget.
A franchise that had also been unable to develop starting pitchers for more
than a decade had three homegrown arms who made 30 or more starts in 2012 in
Cueto and former first-round picks Homer Bailey and Mike Leake. Cincinnati's
$30.25 million investment in Aroldis Chapman has paid off, as he earned
all-star recognition while saving 38 games. He'll get an opportunity to join
the rotation in 2013.
Through trades and promotions, 12 members of last year's Reds Top 30
Prospects list no longer qualify, so the system's depth has understandably
taken a hit. There's still elite talent at the top with outfielder/shortstop
Billy Hamilton, who created perhaps the biggest story of the 2012 minor
league season by stealing a professional-record 155 bases.
Cincinnati won't be counting on many prospects to make the jump to the majors
in the next couple of years, but it also doesn't have many holes at the big
league level. Among the Reds' projected regulars, all but Bronson Arroyo,
Bailey and Shin-Soo Choo are under team control through the 2015 season.
