CURRENT: MLB DRAFT NEXT: DEADLINE/ALLSTAR GAME

Traded:
Alfredo Simon For Vidal Nuno
Reason: Salary Relief, intend to non tender Nuno at end of season.

Injuries
Lost John Lamb for 5-6 months (Fractured Shoulder) Robert Stephenson earns back rotation spot after going 0-4 with a 7.09 ERA in 4 starts
Stephen Johnson (4* Potential) Promoted to take Stephenson's Bullpen spot (Johnson's MLB debut)

MLB DRAFT:
1st Pick of Draft: Pittsburgh Pirates select 22 year old Raúl Gómez (5* potential) Whopping 75 power potential.

Cincinnati Reds First Round Pick (25th): College LHP out of Aruban, Gabriel Dalby (2* Potential). Dalby, a projected emergency starter, has a 70 potential rated changeup which wowed even the Reds verteran scouts that appeared at his international scouting day

Cincinnati Reds Second Round Pick (25th): College LF and RHH, Mike Barnes (1* potential) Barnes has intelligence, he knows his strike zone, with an amazing 80 potential avoid Ks he won't be taking the walk of shame as much as others. His plus contact at 55 is another upside.

Cincinnati Red's Third Round Pick: College RHP, Tynan Jackson (1.5 * potential) Jacksons best quality is his projected fastball, which sits at a 75 potential. Jackson has a current Stuff rating of 65 and projects to top out at a whopping 80 stuff potential. With this flamethrower comes a question of control, which Jackson does not possess.

Cincinnati Reds Fourth Round Pick: College Catcher Out of the Netherlands, Markus Valkenburg (1* potential) Valkenburg was taken for his contact and lack of bad swings at the plate, even with this, his path to the majors is currently in murky waters.

Cincinnati Reds Fifth Round Pick: High School LF RHH, Luke Malone (1* potential) Luke was drafted for his speed (70) Unlikely to provide for the big league club.

Last Pick of the Draft by the Washington Nationals, College Catcher Daniel Brown.

Overall synopsis of the draft:
We got fleeced, with 2 star being taken in the first round at 25 it's hard, overall hopefully we can acquire talent at the deadline. The steal of this draft is Mike Barnes with 80 avoid k.
