Are the Reds the worst team in the MLB?

Question

Now without Dunn or Griffey are the Reds the worst team in the league? I'd say they are.

If not, then who?

Answer 1

The Washington Nationals, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres are worse.

Answer 2

watch seattle...

Answer 3

no the reds have a lot of young talent.

Answer 4

In my mind, the Mariners and Padres are much worse.

Answer 5

Even with Griffey and Dunn they were still pretty bad, so yes i would say the Reds are the worst team

Answer 6

The Mariners, the Padres and the Nationals...!

Answer 7

nope, the san diego padres are at least the reds have phillips or something like that

he should get a gold glove

Answer 8

It seems they are going young. Which could make for some more bad seasons to come. Dusty Baker isn't known at all for being able or wanting to coach young players. This could be as good as it gets in Cincinnati for a while. Even with some good young players. I'm glad Dusty isn't the Cubs manager any more. You think he is good until you actually see him manage.

Answer 9

Right now the worst teams are the Washington Nationals and Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners have won as many games as the Angels have lost and have lost as many as the Angels have won.  Just think about that.

Answer 10

As a Reds fan, I'd have to say no, although it's certainly not because we're any good.  The Nationals are worse, as are...probably the Mariners, and maybe the Royals.  That's pretty much it...there are some others, like the Orioles and Pirates that are just about as bad.

We've got some good young talent, but a lot of us have little to no confidence in the management of this club.  Dusty Baker has been a terrible manager this year, and Walt Jocketty hasn't done much as a GM to be proud of.  We'll see how this Dunn trade works out; we'd better have gotten someone good in the PTBNL's.  

Answer 11

The Nationals are giving them a run for their money. The Nats swept the Reds the other week, but we'll see if that's a long term or short term change. The Nats are wisely spending all their money building their farm system after it was gutted by the Expos.

Answer 12

Well, that depends...how about this twist?  

Based on team talent, the Tigers and the Yankees are the worst teams in baseball. I'm a Tigers fan and I'll even admit to this, which is not fun. Both of these teams have underachieved so far and I'm not sure if either will make the post season, especially the Tigers. However, the Yanks got a big boost of confidence since the Rays say that Crawford may have season ending surgery and Longoria is out for 2-3 weeks. Time for Sox and Yanks to make their move.  

Answer 13

No, its okay there's the Nationals, Mariners, Pads

at least you have Edison Volquez! 13-5 2.93 era looks pretty darn good to me compared to years before that! i'd go to a game to see him pitch plus the stadium looks pretty ^^;

Answer 14

There are a few teams worse than the Reds & I thought they were supposed to be a team to watch this year.

Answer 15

There's other teams that are worse, but the Reds are done this season anyway...they've retreated into "rebuild" mode again - though at least Dusty has some experience to actually do it better than they've done in the past...

Funny, but ATHLON picked the Reds to be 2nd in the NL Central...

Answer 16

Nationals are the worst by far, but the Reds are getting there. They just need to trade away some of their pitching.

Answer 17

No not in my oppinion anyway, Eddie Volquez is one heck of a pitcher who will be a perrenial all-star, Joey Votto is a decent 1st basemen with some good pop in his bat, and baseballs #1 prospect Jay Bruce is just phenominal, Edwin Encarnacian is a incredible athlete, and Francisco Cordero is one of the best closers in baseball.

Yeah the loss of Dunn and Griffey will hurt but in the long run its a great idea to stock up on prospects.

In my oppinion The Seattle Mariners are the worst team, ive always had a soft-spot for the Mariners, but this year beyond Ichiro, its a total failure
