It’s hard to say until these prospects get some playing time, but from a high-level point of view I think most people would agree that the players we got in return for Frazier and Chapman were underwhelming. But I don’t necessarily hinge the success of the ball club on that batch of prospects. Hopefully, some of those guys will pan out, but I think the primary goal was to shed payroll, which they’ve certainly done. What the team does with that money in the next couple of seasons will dictate whether or not the Reds will be competitive again anytime soon.
