The Cincinnati Reds' roster as it stands today

The tables below include the players with contracts with and/or under control by the Cincinnati Reds and their status today. I have tried to organize these tables in a way to make it easy to find the information you're looking for. Within each table, players are sorted first by the year their contract ends; second (descending) by their 2014 salary; and third alphabetically by name. Well-known players (i.e. the starting pitchers and relief pitchers as well as the starting position players) are listed first with less-well-known players included later.

Please let me know, either with a comment or by email, if you find any errors or omissions. Note that I do not intend to update this as contracts are signed, etc. This is intended to be a snapshot of the situation today.

Today is the second anniversary of this blog

Today marks the second anniversary of this blog with this being the 101st post. Google reports that I have had over 21,200 page views, which is a lot more than I expected. Set your expectations low, and you're more likely to meet them.

I started this blog so that I could post entries and not offend my Facebook friends. I was losing friends due to my posts and that stopped once I started posting away from Facebook.

So let's keep going with this. Originally, I wanted to post daily but I couldn't take the time to do that. I looks like I'm averaging one post per week, but I will try to increase that number over the next year.
