John Lamb isn’t exactly a household name amongst Reds fans. Truthfully, if you stopped paying attention towards the end of last season, you might not even know who he is. For those unaware, Lamb was the least-heralded piece of the three that came back to Cincinnati in the Johnny Cueto trade.
That trade was centered around Brandon Finnegan, who was considered a Top 100 prospect before moving on to the majors, plus he has World Series experience at age 22.
The second piece in the trade, Cody Reed, has been one of the Reds’ most discussed prospects this winter and will likely find himself on most Top 100 lists when the 2016 season rolls around.
