Cincinnati Reds: Do Joey Votto, Aroldis Chapman Make Them the Best Tea
Are the Cincinnati Reds the best team in baseball?
Valid arguments could be made against it, but they are the hottest. Since the All-Star break they are 29-14, going 21-8 through the month of August, the best record in MLB.
They never give up, winning 19 games in their last at-bat. Don’t turn the TV off until the fat lady sings.
They are the youngest team with playoff aspirations, with an average age of younger than 28.
The Reds boast arguably the best player in the National League this year in first-baseman Joey Votto. In only his third full season in the majors Votto is among the top in virtually all offensive categories.
He is currently second to Carlos Gonzalez in BA at .325. He is third in HR with 32, and leads the league in RBI with 97. He is third in runs scored, first in OBP, second in SLG and first in OPS.
He has a legitimate shot at the Triple Crown, along with St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols and Gonzalez.
