Locked On Reds

Brandon Phillips is virtually guaranteed a spot in the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame, but who else from this year’s ballot truly deserves enshrinement? Steve and Jeff debate the merits of Aaron Harang, Homer Bailey, Zach Cozart, and Francisco Cordero, spotlighting Phillips’ elite glove, power numbers, and signature moments in Reds history. The hosts analyze Hall of Fame criteria—should iconic single-game achievements, like Bailey’s two no-hitters, stack up to overall career contributions? Looking ahead, the future of Cincinnati’s Hall looks bright as Steve and Jeff spotlight current Reds such as Elly De La Cruz, Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, and Tyler Stephenson as potential Reds Hall of Famers. Key discussions include the hidden value of WAR, Scott Rolen’s candidacy based on Reds tenure versus total career, and how postseason memories stack up against traditional stats.
