In this episode of the Best Case/Worst Case edition of the Bleeding Cincy Red podcast, we try chasing down Billy Hamilton, which is impossible, so we talk about him instead. Billy brings the speed to the Cincinnati Reds and the defense. However, he has trouble getting on base. So we discuss what that means for the 2018 season. Hosted by Robert Lee Brewer and Brian A. Klems.

In this episode of the Best Case/Worst Case edition of the Bleeding Cincy Red podcast, we marvel at the greatness of Scott Schebler (okay, it’s mainly just “Schebler lover” Robert doing the marveling). When he’s healthy, Schebby has proven to be a plus bat and good at throwing people out from right field. The only question: Where does he fit in a crowded Cincinnati Reds outfield? Hosted by Robert Lee Brewer and Brian A. Klems.

The only question: Does Suarez have a worst case? Hosted by Robert Lee Brewer and Brian A. Klems.

He could be the ace of the staff in 2018, or he could struggle (a la Homer Bailey in 2017) to get back into form. And we break it all down here. Hosted by Robert Lee Brewer and Brian A. Klems.
