Selecting the best player to wear the #17 in Cincinnati Reds history was one of the more difficult numbers on the list to pick a winner from, as many in Reds lore have donned the uniform. There is only one man who transcended the number, and was a fan favorite during a golden time in Reds history. Chris Sabo is the best to ever wear the #17 in Cincinnati Reds history.

Strategy Of Pitching Around David Ortiz Backfires On Cardinals

Adam Wainwright wanted to pitch to David Ortiz, and Mike Matheny let him. That pitch, a 91-mph cutter that didn't get in on Ortiz's hands, put the Red Sox ahead en route to their Game 5 victory. It was the beginning of the end for the Cardinals.

Top 20 Second-Half Flops: #11-20

I have always had an interest in baseball players who had terrific seasons that just went south on them after the All-Star break. I had poked around the internet for the last couple of years looking for someone who had written a piece on this topic but could never come up with anything.

Adam Kennedy (Athletics):
The non-waiver Trade Deadline is Friday afternoon, so it's certainly possible that Orlando Cabrera and Adam Kennedy will be wearing other clubs' uniforms by Saturday. If that's the case, at least they can say they went out on a high note.

It was an odd scene, a rushed one, too, at AT&T Park on Wednesday afternoon. The Giants ushered Freddy Sanchez into an impromptu press conference after slipping a Giants jersey over his head. Minutes before, Sanchez had been in the dugout with his Pirates teammates. Now he was preparing to enter the thick of a pennant race.

Pedro Feliz & The Zapatos

On May 12, 2009, fans in Philadelphia witnessed something extraordinary. No, I'm not talking about Jayson Werth stealing second, third, and home in the same inning—although that is extraordinary and worthy of its own discussion. I'm talking about Pedro Feliz drawing four unintentional walks in as many plate appearances.

Four new infielders join three holdovers, and while there are a pair of players whom the JAWS system flags as Hall-worthy here, we shouldn't expect either to get the call from Cooperstown on Monday.
