The Reds are going to face lots of tough decisions over the next year and half or so, and the choices they make will have a big impact on how fun it is to watch the Reds for the next 5 years or more. I wouldn’t call what to do with Billy Hamilton the toughest of those, but maybe they could start with it to sort of get the decision making juices flowing.
I didn’t like that the Reds picked Billy Hamilton when they did, which was the second round in 2009. There were lots players that were taken after him that are clearly better (Paul Goldschmidt went in 8th round and Matt Carpenter in the 13th, how did that happen?
