Another item of note. The Reds 13th round pick from last season, pitcher Lucas O'Rear, got injured playing basketball and will miss a good portion of next season with a broken ankle. If you're unfamiliar with O'Rear and his story, he's the guy who the Reds drafted out of Northern Iowa (even though UNI doesn't have a team) and was the 6th man of the year in the Missouri Valley conference last year on the hoops team. It's a tough blow for the Reds, as he put together a nice debut for them last year and didn't really have a future in basketball. Kind of raises the question though: was it a mistake for the Reds to draft a kid with such a significant injury risk waiting in another sport? Is there anything they could have done to better protect their investment?
