Reds Minor League Baseball Blog

Alright, for those of you who don’t know me, I go by the handle Blade Stevens.  I’ve been blogging the Reds for two and a half years, followed the team pretty closely and even delved into some historical content.  If you want to know more about me, here’s my first post at Reds Cutting Edge.  One thing that’s been lacking has been coverage of the Reds minor league system.  That ends today.

When Brian told me he was on the lookout for people to cover the minor leagues, I thought about who I might ask.  I thought about it some more and then decided, what the heck, I’d do it.  I’ve got the Thaq man helping me out at RCE so we’ll see how it works.

Now, what will be happening here?  Basically the main jist of the site will be coverage of all of the minor league games.  Whether it’s the Bats or the Mustangs, you should be able to stop by here the morning after each set of games and read all about how well the Reds minor league affiliates did.  Some of the sites that got set up earlier, like Tigers Minors, have gone through a top ten prospect list but I’m not going to have time to do that with only a week and a half until minor league game time.  Instead, I’ll do a few prospect profiles of guys who I think are worth noting.

And if you really like minor league baseball, there’s nine sites in the network so far and all of the feeds will end up at Minor League Blogs.  That should be a nice one stop minor league resource similar to what Baseball Historians is for the major leagues.  And don’t be shy.  Leave a comment if you hate what I say (or love it).
