And with that all of the original big ten are gone from the organization. 

Well, Tilly went on 7/25 for real and old friend Nick Hundley had a bit of a tiff with Yasiel Puig last week!  All good!

OFFNY, which of our guys would make the list today (highly thought of and at A+)?  Akin, Tate, Ortiz, and Harvey?

Well, the reason why I had that list in the first place was because I felt very optimistic about at least 2 or 3 of those guys have anywhere from a pretty good to a really good Major League career, and one of the reasons why I was optimistic was because they were all pitching very well in the upper levels of the Minor Leagues (Advanced-A, AA, and AAA.)

So the same set of circumstances doesn't necessarily exist today for me to have a "Big Ten" list ........ it was my version of "The Cavalry."

 

But if there was a list today, Hunter Harvey would unquestionably be on it, as would Keegan Akin, Alex Wells, John Means, and Luis Ortiz.

Yeah, the group we have today is not as impressive as that group, at least on paper.    Maybe in a year we’ll feel diffferently.

An oldie, but goodie from my Original Big Ten list ........ David Hernandez is 5-0 with a 1.89 ERA and an 0.944 WHIP for the Reds this season.

I agree...it is too early maybe, but I would include Dillon Tate in that group right now  and after next year, lets see where DL Hall, GrayRod and Blaine Knight are standing.
