Fantasy Baseball #1 Pick Hint.....

     Threeeeeee Days until MLB Opening Day! For me, its Thrreeeeee Days until Reds Opening Day! Who is not ready and excited??? If you aren't, go back to watching your Futball match, Lacrosse game, or Curling Match. (WHATEVER!) Us Baseball fanatics, we will be at the Diamond, in the sports bars, or at home in front of the TV watching, ALL SEASON LONG!

     Next order of business!!! I have my one and only fantasy baseball draft in about an hour and a half, 12 noon! I'm going to commit the "C" "ard" "in" "al" sin of fantasy drafting, by drafting with my heart, instead of my mind. (I can't speak or type that "C" word. Bad JuJu!)

     With the first pick, in the 2013 Choo The Fat league, Tony Arno, manager or team Leggo My Votto! drafts... Jooooeeeeeeeyyyyyy Vooottttttooooo!

For those of you not familiar with the player in the videos, his name is JOEY VOTTO! 

Thanks all and Cheers from the Cheap Seats!

2013 Spring Training Shout Outs... Reds Farm Hands

     This blog post is dedicated to sending out shouts to some up and coming Reds players. The following players have been designated for assignment within the Reds Farm System. Each of them have had very good 2013 Spring workouts and games. The Reds farm system is stacked!

(Not positive what level and team at this time)

     I know there are a bunch more good prospects in the Reds system and I don't mean to leave them out. It's tough for a fan, from New York, to keep up with all of them. As more hit my radar, I'll certainly add them to this list. Guys, listed above, if you have teammates that I'm not aware of, shoot me a tweet with their name. I'll do the research and get them added ASAP!

      All of you have bright futures and make the Reds Farm teams that much more exciting to watch. Keep working hard, doing the little things, and keeping faith. Good Luck to all of you for a great 2013 season.

Thanks all and Cheers from the Cheap Seats!

Votto is back... #Reds

Here is a titanic shot Joey Votto hits off of Yu Darvish. Darvish fooled JV earleir in the at bat with the same pitch. The second time, the ball went a pretty far distance the other way! AWESOME.

Votto Funkblast

Joey Votto is back yawl.

Thanks and Cheers from the Cheap Seats.
